@WRSkyes, i know your a big fan of PS3 but two words - Halo Four!
@lavvash, i have both, the PS3 does play .mkv files without a hitch.
With the Xbox 360, i do the following little trick with .mkv file as 360 has no problem playing the video codec, its the audio.
It really takes only 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on file. This way video quality remains the same and not much CPU usage.
1. Get
XMedia Re-encode2. Open the .mkv file
3. "Format" tab, choose Microsoft, Xbox360 H.264, File Extenxtion: MP4
4. On the "Video" tab, at the bottom tick the box "Video copy" - This just copies the video to the mp4 container without encoding it
5. Press "Encode" at the top. It should take between 30seconds to 2 minutes to encode the audio only to .mp4 the Xbox 360 plays without a hitch with Serviio
@zip, i know that the main job of Serviio is to play file straight away
But is it possible, for a screen to load up on Xbox 360 saying "File encoding" then plays the file when Serviio converts the audio.
This way i dont have to use XMedia Re-encode trick
