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.

avconv -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.
