I use a NAS box to store my BD and DVD rips in MKV format and I play them on the TV in our living room, via an Oppo BDP-105. I use Oppo's iPad app as my controller, so my Windows computer (and thus MC) is not involved for normal playback purposes.
Links to these MKVs are also contained in my MC library, so today I started to experiment with the playback abilities of MC and realised for the first time that I could use '
Send To' to play MKVs on the network-connected 24" Sony TV in our kitchen (this is the most up to date TV in our house and was bought in April 2014). However, there was no sound and it looks like the TV does not support the FLAC files embedded in my MKVs.
I then found the following Wikipedia page, which doesn't list
any TVs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hardware_and_software_that_supports_FLACThis implies that every TV on which I want to play a MKV would have to have its own Oppo (or some other external device) in order to hear the audio track? If so, what is the cheapest way to add FLACability to a TV? Do I actually need something that acts as a DLNA Renderer?
