Can Sharp TV Play MKV?
Q: I am trying to set up a simple media movie box for my son and nieces. I have a Sharp LC-80LE650U 80-Inch Aquos HD 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV and a large (8GB) hard drive full of MKV files (many 8-15 minute cartoons). However, Sharp Media Player seems not to display the MKV files for playback. does Sharp TV play MKV? How can I play MKV videos on Sharp TV?
When I plug my usb stick into my Sharp tv (which usually works for most files) it won't allow me to play MKV files. it just says 'Playback Not Available'. How can i play avi files on my Sharp PN-LE PN-LE701 70" 1080p LED-LCD TV?
Sharp 4K TV saying file not supported. How can I play MKV files on my Sharp 4K TV? I can connect my flash drive directly into the tv. When I try to play the avi files it tells me video codec not supported. Any help would be appreciated.
