Xbox 360 and MKV-files

Post by hsalthe » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:13 am

My setup consist of a server running debian and TwonkyServer 6.0.30, and an Xbox360, throug a D-Link Dir-655 router.

I am trying to play .MKV-files on the Xbox 360, but when I browse the library on the Xbox, the mkv-files doesn't show up. In the web interface of Twonky, they do, though.

I also read another thread where someone said that renaming the file to *.wmv would make it possible to play it using Twonky, but the file I tried renaming .wmv has an asterisk after it, and I get an error message on the Xbox when I try to play it. The error message says something about "Unable to play file due to format" or something like that.

Is it possible to play MKV files through Twonky and Xbox 360? How can I do it?

The Xbox cannot play MKV files. See here-
