Considering using MRMC with MKV files

Post by JohnWB »

I am considering getting an Apple TV4 but I have a large number of files on my Synology NAS in MKV format.

If I install MrMC would I then be able to play them and should the HD sounds pass through to my Marantz receiver.

Any advice will be gratefully received.

apple tv handles h264 nicely, even better now that we have HW acceleration tuned in.

DTS and DD passthrough also works well, DTS-HD and DD+ are not supported by apple at this stage

MrMC can decode audio to PCM, up to 7.1 depending on the source. So, you can get HD audio but not from bitstream/passthrough.
