New Fire TV MKV Playback Tips-Stream MKV to Fire TV 2 for Watching MKV on Fire TV 2015

How to prepare your MKV videos for playback on Fire TV 2? Luckily, there's a workaround that can make your movies playable on the new Fire TV, read on ! 

The new Fire TV supports Ultra HD (UHD) video content, and I had no problems viewing Alpha House on Amazon Instant Video and Daredevil on Netflix in 4K. Both services depend on a fast network connection to display 4K content, so don't count on a consistent UHD stream if your network is slower than either service recommends, and get ready for occasional compression artifacts with network hiccups. That said, both shows came through fast and crisp on the new Fire TV connected to our FiOS test network. 

As we know, Amazon Fire TV 2 video formats are limited to H.263, H.264, MPEG4-SP, VC1, so you could not transfer MKV to Amazon Fire TV for playback directly. 

 

Since MKV is not a format supported by Amazon Fire TV 2, in order to watch MKV movies on Amazon New Fire TV, you need to convert MKV to Fire TV formats (H.263, H.264, MPEG4-SP, VC1). Here BrorsoftVideo Converter is recommended to make MKV playable on Amazon Fire TV 2015. 

It allows you to convert MKV files to Amazon Fire TV 2 compatible MP4 at fast speed with the best quality. Besides, it can also convert MKV to any video or audio format like .avi, .wmv, .mov, .flv, .mpg, etc as you want. This MKV converter supports batch conversion, so you can convert multiple files at a time, which will save you a lot of time. To create personalized MKV files, you can also adjust the visual effects, add unique watermarks and more. All these will be done by the built-in video editor.
