Hi, long time reader and first time poster!
I currently own a LG BD350 Blu Ray player but having difficulty playing mkv files created with MakeMKV from my dvd collection. Some x264 mkv files play fine but I think the issue here is that my player does't like mpeg2 inside the mkv container.
I've tried muxing my dvd structures into ts and m2ts containers using tsmuxer and the output plays fine but doesn't allow seeking through the file or chapter support which is a big issue. I have also tried vob2mpeg which has exactly the same outcome.
Basically, my end goal is to have files on an external hard drive hooked up to my Blu Ray player for quick access. I have toyed with the idea of streaming from pc to Xbox 360 but bandwidth restrictions make this a non starter.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this particular Blu Ray player or could suggest a player fully compatible with the files produced by MakeMKV?
I will be purchasing an Xbox One so another option may be to wait and see what file formats it supports. With it having Blu Ray support i'm hoping it will provide native playback of m2ts files as the PS3 does.
This is going to be a fairly big project for me so I need to avoid any form of transcoding if possible. Hard drive space won't be an issue.
