Hi there,
I am making a private roku channel by myself for it to use by my brothers in Italy and with the help of my friends Google & Youtube I have done everything so far, and the few mp4 file that I have they play just fine, except for a crap loads of mkv that I also have and I hate to have to convert them.
I have tried “instant tv channel” service and I can see that the same mkv files plays on roku with their channel and not with mine.
and also the same files play just fine on Emby.
So I am assuming that the files or the server are not the problem.
Obviously “requires_mkv=1” in the manifest and StreamFormat "mkv" is not the only thing that make it work and I can not find what will.
I would naively like to ask if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction helping me as I am stuck and you guys know much more than I do.
It would be great if a channel template that uses mkv files (and maybe srt subtitles) was out there but I have not found one.
Thanks
debugging says :
Unexpected event type: 0 (between index 198 and 264 ) and then
Content contains no playable tracks
(the same file plays on roku trough itv channel and emby ???)
UPDATE :(not that that does me any good )
The same mkv file will play on roku using the "Sample PlayVideo App" template of 2009... it won't play in the "RokuChannelMaker" template of (2014)
SOLVED:
Found this improved template
