deaerator 2 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Curious if the Windows 8.1 app is supposed to play the same formats as media browser theatre. I am having trouble with the 8.1 being able to play some mkv with dts hd ma track and a couple of blu ray rips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware, Windows Apps don't support bitstreaming which is the only reason I have never bothered trying the apps. No idea why it's not supported :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I could be wrong but I think I read that newest version has added this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psykix 97 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Well I just downloaded the trial version to see, and it doesn't bitstream. As far as I understood, it was a Windows App limitation rather than a limitation in that one app. I like the tile though, so if I could get that somewhere to apply to my MBT tile that would be good :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) This may help: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/storage-files-and-folders/which-file-types-are-supported Other brands of tablets will probably have the same limitations. Seems that for best usage, you want to get your video into h.264 and your audio into AAC for tablets. For better media support on a desktop or laptop, use Media Browser Theater or Media Browser Classic.
