    Question Playing large MKV files

    Hi,

    I have an Xtrend ET8000 with ViX.

    Is it possible to play large MKV files (4GB-8GB) through the ET8000 possibly using some plugin etc? I have a 1TB USB hard drive that has quite a few MKV files that I'd like to be able to play.
    I know the machine is not a media player and will be limited to the files it may support.

    Any info would be great.

    Thanks.

    You can playback MKV files using the inbuilt movie player, press list button as your do to play back recordings.

    Open movie list and press yellow to change location and navigate to storage device/directory that has your MKV files.

    Thanks for pointing out where to go to play the files, but I still can't see my 1TB USB hard drive. Could it be down to my USB drive being NTFS? Is NTFS file system supported?
