Play MKV HD Video on Your Sony Bravia TV




                 The Sony Bravia (Any Model) does not play HD video files in MKV format. May be there is no codec in the TV. However there is a fix for this. What you need is a network router, host pc , network cables and Serviio DLNA media server. The idea here is to stream the video files from a computer to the TV using a DLNA media server. DLNA is a technology which can stream media content from one device to another using a pre-defined protocol. So that if one video format is not supported in your TV you can get the DLNA media server to transform it to a format known to your TV and stream it using DLNA protocol. A DLNA enabled TV can recognize this video stream and play it according to the streaming rate (the time taken to transform the video content to a known format and transfer it via the network). If the PC is slow you may notice the video is being paused all the time.

Solution:

1) Connect the TV and the PC to the network router and install Serviio DLNA media server in the PC.

(Click on Skip Ad after 5 Sec  @ right top corner)

2) Serviio is one of the best free DLNA servers available. It seems like that even Sony recommends Serviio. Once this is done start the Serviio service and the console in the PC. 

3)Then share your MKV files via the media library in the Serviio console and enable Transcoding. This feature will stream you HD MKV video content to the TV in a playable format. 

That's it, just browse the media server in the TV and enjoy your media content.
