rhettp 0 Posted June 2, 2019 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25393 Posted June 3, 2019 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, it doesn't support MKV it looks like but I use VLC to convert all of the videos to h.264 mp4. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25393 Posted June 16, 2019 Share 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.
