Jayvee Lacrosse Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ok just accidentally figured this out, (you can now play mkv even more than 4 GB using XBOX thru WMP latest version ) I was playing NFL HD MOVIE in mkv.on XBOX using PMS (ps3 Media server.. , when i play it on PMS..it would stutter, pause and then continue,..usually i pause it and play it once PMS catcHes up with bitrate, but NOW.. i can play MKV file EVEN more than 4 GB files on my xbox thru WMP .latest version ,,,but you have to open PMS also at the same time. I usually cannot see the mkv file on my xbox when using wmp and play thru XBOX...BUT WHEN I OPENED PMS...files also came out on my WMP.. First..open PMS..make sure mkv file shows up on list USING XBOX ...then open WMP on your PC also and do not exit PMS ....NOW you can see the MKV file...(if still cannot see,,try playing another MKV file first with PMS usually better with subtitle..(after this once you can see the file using XBOX only..it can play MKV and even more than 4 GB),, Now the i can watch the NFL game HD without stutter,,only problem now is it is not surround sound...i will try an OPTICAL cable...next week..will update..Cheers oh sometimes it will say error pc not connected --- .53-?????? ..something like that..just play it again and it will play...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayvee Lacrosse Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 ..yup but some mkv..files are slow and give stutter but if i used XBox directly,thru WMP..it would play normally so therfore xbox can play it more efficient right?? when you open you WMP and the name of you PC will come out on XBox and whil PMS is open also..mkv files would show and now , you can play mkv files faster than PMS or would not stutter,,, will try if it would surround if i put optical cable..will update,,,hehe.cheers(coz currently if mp4 5.1 it would play surround and avi...but thru ac3...hmm have not tried this new version if mp4 but aac 6 ch,.,will try later also..hehehe,..but mkv will not surround...i am using hdmi thru amp and to tv..
