PS4
Media Player: DLNA Support
It can't stream Matroska (that I can see), but it will take pretty much anything if it's in an MPEG2-TS container.
That's what I'm using to copy my DVDs over directly so there's no loss.
ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -c copy movie.m2ts
Supported
- H.264 + AAC + MP4 (this is just a slapped together list, I haven't looked at levels)
- MPEG2 + AC3 + M2TS
- MP4 movie titles
- Resume playback for multiple files, across multiple sessions
- Recently played list
- DLNA server icon
- Video thumbnails (Plex DLNA server supports it, don't know how to duplicate in other DLNA servers)
Not Supported
- VC-1
- MPEG2 + AC3 + MP4
- VOBSUB
- Video covers in the MP4 file
Plex's DLNA server streams to it just fine as well, and it will do a Direct Play on H.264+AAC+MP4 videos.
Filesystems
PS4 can playback media on a FAT32 and exFAT filesystem.
