Sorry, I only use the TV to watch cable programs and Apple TV. My only issue is the volume is a little low.

It has an older version of XMBC on it, so you can launch that - you'll have to navigate the file sources from inside the menu to find the mkv file, but generally yes. There may be issues with accelerated decoding, HD video from a usb thumb drive may be choppy.I would heartily recommend you install the latest version of XBMC, it was recently renamed to Kodi http://kodi.tv/download/

Looks like it uses h.264 which is a quicktime format. Do you have quicktime installed? I'm a mac user and never use AVI's so I hope I'm correct in this assumption.

Are you using DVDs? I watch them all the time. Otherwise, check the specs and see exactly what files it does read. unfortunately, im thinking it reads an older format.

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.

Yes this tv plays MKV files, and a lot more. If your computer has (intels i3, i5, i7) the you can buy the NETGEAR PTV2000 DIGITAL HD MEDIA STREAMER. This lets you copy what's on your computer to your tv.

AVI can be multiple codecs.. Anyone know what specific codec the videos must be encoded in?Thanks

Not sure with this as I returned it and the 4k tv. But anytime I download a mkv formatted video file it will always start playing with subtitles. I press the tools button on the remote and go down to subtitles and turn it off and they go away. Not sure if you have already tried this but that is what I have done!!

Yes. I just checked it out with a MKV file I had. I did not know this so thank you for your question.

Hello picky, This Tv does support USB and jpeg files. I was unable to confirm this unit is capable of looping these files.

I am not sure about the video formats. I did buy this for a Christmas present and it has already quit working properly.

It will play MP4 will always, and it seems to be 75% with RMVB. I am not sure why it will not play all of my RMVB files? but it does play most of them.

It has NTSC and PAL display modes. It changes the aspect a little bit. As for PAL-format DVDs, I am not sure.

Hmmm. I've used it quite a bit on mkv's connected to an hdtv and it was fine, no stutter or lag. I downloaded a sample .rmvb file, 10 seconds long, and it played fine with vlc, but neither esfile explorer's viewer or the built in video application would recognize it. I am not familiar at all with rmvb files, so i do not know if there is more than one type or different quality, but the one i had was about 1.1meg for a 10 second clip at 320x480. hope that helps.

I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

I've played avi and mkv by connecting my external hard drive to a usb port. They were played well but the subtitle integrated in my mkv files couldn't be read.
