My dedicated theater upgrade/renovation will finally be done in a few months! I also have a basement theater. I have a Kaleidescape system for movies, etc which includes a DV-700 Disc Vault (300 blu rays/DVDs) and currently I have lots of Dolby Atmos blu rays in the vault, which I play via my Kaleidescape system both in my basement system and my soon finally done dedicated home theater. Everything is hardwired ethernet. However, I have been ripping the music Dolby Atmos blu rays to mkv files. I do have an Oppo 103 blu ray player which will play them via USB (having files on a flash drive), and although it apparently can play the mkv files over the network, LonTV did a review a few years back and advised that the 203 is a poor over network performer for mkv files (very slow loading, audio interruptions, etc), so the Oppo 103 (or a 203) is out for network playback of mkv files.
The IAA site lists devices which will play mkv files at least via USB:
List of confirmed devices:
What device are you using to play mkv files (including mkv of blu ray movies and blu ray audio)? Are you using an attached USB flash drive/USB drive - or over network?
If over network, is your ethernet hardwired, and do you have issues with slow loading times or audio and/or video interruptions? Thanks.
