Play MKV files With XboX 360?

[gregor30]

Is there any possibility to play .mkv files with xbox 360?

xBox 360 won't play mkv files, you need to convert it to mp4 video format,

Someone mentioned Plex just above. Though I haven't used it extensively, I dont think it will work with 360 and MKV files, I think it just tries sending what you tell it without checking playback capabilities of the target device. I have used TVersity, which has options to convert video or music on the fly to a format readable by the device. It is even able to downsample video if you have a sliw router or computer. This is all I used, untill I invested in some HDMI cables. If you have a spare HDMI output on your computer and input on your TV, just use them and watch anything your computer can play directly onto TV.
