rhettp 0 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Does Emby support MKV files? It seems all of the files I download from torrent sites are all now in MKV form. Its a bit of a pain in the ass to convert everything to MP4 just to watch.
Luke 40078 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Hi, yes emby supports mkv. You don't need to convert them to mp4 in order to use them in emby. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Luke 40078 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Are you able to play those mp4's now? I would imagine those will be fine. We also have a media conversion feature that could help you automate this: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-423-emby-server-34-released/ Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
rhettp 0 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Posted July 6, 2019 Can I just play the files through my PS4 browser? I think I tried but it said I had to have premiere.
Luke 40078 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Our Emby Theater app does require Emby Premiere, yes.
Luke 40078 Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Emby for MacOS is now in the Mac App store. Enjoy.
