PhilipS OLED TV MKV

by timmillwood

I went to go play an MKV video on my Philips OLED TV today as I have many many times, and today it told me the file isn’t supported.

What gives?

Undoubtedly the problem is the video codec type - or the bit complexity. It has nothing to do with the Matroska container.

You can always check the codec information in VLC. Just load the file and press Ctrl+J. Stream 0 codec is the video type, and Stream 1 is the audio.

Using which app?

It's possible the tv is powerful enough to play the file.

I use VLC becuase my LG v10 supports DLNA so I can watch movie wirelessly in other hand other hand MX-player does not support playing file over DLNA. I seen default player does not play some file so even cast the moives from my pc it directly goes to phlips default player.

​

Is there any way to change the default player to VLC ?
