can this Blu ray player play mkv files

yes! I play mkv files on mine from an external hard drive. Occasionally the mkv will not read well on the blu ray player, even though it plays on a computer, but this is rare. good luck! -Jay

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

Hello Melissa, yes it will play blueray files with extensions such as .mkv, .mp4 or .avi. but not a ripped blueray if thats what youre asking. And yes it'll work with up to a 2TB drive. I have a 1TB western digital drive and works fine.

The unit does not have Pandora nor is it mentioned in the manual as an optional app. You might want to check on Pandora's web site and they should have a way to find compatible Blu-Ray players from all supported manufacturers. My gut response is to say "no" it does not.

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.

Download a good codec pack like k-lite codec pack and then play blu rays through VLC

I am serving files via a Synology NAS, model # DS210J. I could not view or play .MKV or M4V video files on the BD player. My solution (after many hours of hair-pulling) was to change the video file name extension from .MKV to .MPG and the 720P video files would be recognized by the Sony and play correctly. I hope this helps.

I play mine on a sony Blu-ray/DVD player. It plays both DVDs and Blu-ray discs and have had no problems.

Yes, it supports MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE and WAV. It's just that for videos, it can't play MKV or FLV.

The mini PC can run XBMC and product good quality of video playback. Firmware before Feb 2014 has an issue with some video playback, moreover the issue was fixed in firmware 20140306. MKV is supported but the quality of playback may be not as good as expected because the hardware decode of MKV is not supported. If playing MKV is the major reason for purchasing this mini PC, you are not recommended to buy this mini PC.

Yep. Just download the blu-ray app for free and it will play blu-ray discs.

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

Not all blue ray players play dvds, check your owners manual to see what formats it will accept, IE: Blue ray, Dvd+R,Dvd-R,DivX,CD,etc.

For MKV, that depends on the files. Video files are more complex than what filename extension they use. The MKV vidoes would need to meet certain requirements, one of which is to be H.264. http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-What-media-file-types-does-the-Roku-Media-Player-channel-support- Roku does not support the (outdated) AVI format directly. You could transcode (convert) them yourself or use a media server (like Plex, Media Browser, or MyMedia) to do it on-the-fly as needed. You could also look at the WD TV devices, which prioritize support for media on connected storage. http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2698/~/list-of-compatible-media-file-types-for-all-wd-tv-and-wd-elements-play-products

It will not function as a stand alone blu-ray movie disc player. It has to be hooked up to a machine (aka your computer) that has blu-ray playback software.
