Apple TV 3 and H264 MKV playback? I am debating on purchasing the WD LIVE or Apple TV 3. And I wanted to know if it is possible that the ATV can do .mkv and .avi playback on non-itunes media. (i.e. pulling it from my server)
AppleTV does not have native support for mkv files. You can use various third-party programs to transcode and send to AppleTV, ranging from the simple (Beamer) to the full library solutions (Plex combined with PlexConnect).
