    Xbox Media player can't play MKV files.


    According to this ....

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/xbox-video/mkv-support

    MKV is supported but at this moment I don't see the 'Play To' on my PC to stream.

    It seems my Xbox one is updated. I can't see what I am doing wrong unless it is their side. I am in Hong Kong.

    :)

    Does anyone know how to get MKV files playing from an external HD on XBox 1?

    Hi, Xbox Media player seems to play my MKV files pretty well, maybe give that a shot.

    Media Player error 0xc00d36c4 streaming MKV from PC

    Maybe someone could at least confirm for me whether this is even a use-case that is expected to work?Is it expected that you can stream MKV video using the Media Player app on Xbox One from a Win8.1 PC media library?

    I have subsequently tried to re-pro the issue on a fresh build of Win8.1 on a different PC on my home network, using the same MKV files, and same Media Streaming options. In this case Media Player app on XB1 does not even list the MKV files within this media
    library. Maybe this is the default behaviour instead?

    On the PC hosting the MKV files with which the Media Player app gives error 0xc00d36c4, I once had some third-party MKV codecs installed (CCCP) so that I could watch MKVs in Media Player 12 for Windows 8. Once MS added MKV support to the Video app in Win8.1
    I uninstalled these third-party codecs. Could this be the only reason that the Media Player app on XB1 sees the MKV files in this media library, and it isn't even supposed to?

    Problem accessing .mkv videofiles with XBox One S / X when located on Seagate 8 TB GameDrive

    Play you mkv files on your xbox video player, it works!

    You could just get a media player like WD play and it will read the mkv file straight away. Higher quality no conversion.

    External Hard Drive no longer detected (Summer Update)

    My Usb stick worked fine yesterday, watched an MKV file. Now today it does not work - says no files found, yet I have changed nothing. Very annoying. I just bought an Xbox one 3 days ago, primarily to use as a media player! Now I can't play any media files,
    yet the Xbone is 3 years old and this is still a problem?
