I am really inept when it comes to anything beyond basic knowledge of computers and such, so I need some step by step trouble shooting instructions on how to get certain files that I have on my computer to play on my TV. I can get most videos and music I have downloaded to play on my TV fine, but just recently I have been getting a "File Not Currently Supported" error, specifically I was trying to play a .mkv video and it gives me that error. I can play other video formats like mp4, avi, m4v without an issue. Is there something that I need to do to get these files to play? I have read other posts and they talk about transcoding, and static IP and I have NO idea what they mean by that stuff and I would really appreciate any help! Thanks!!
