This isn't a huge deal at home as I have PLEX and it will transcode everything I have ripped so far. I there a way to force MakeMKV to rip the TV Series to MKV (H.264) which is supported by Roku Media Player. For example Streets of San Francisco is seen and plays fine but Boston Legal and Shark are not seen nor will they play even if I load them direct to the Roku via USB Stick (it sees all the episodes on the stick but will not play them, say non-support format). One thing I have notice is it is not hit or miss, the whole TV Series either plays or will not play. Only about 40 percent of the TV Episodes will play or even be seen by Roku Media Server. All the mini-series such as Band of Brothers and The Pacific play great.
All but one movie plays perfectly using Roku Media Player. I have ripped all my Movies, Mini-Series, and TV Episodes with MakeMKV. The issue I think I have is that the Roku3 does not transcode and files must be in MKV (H.264). I also have a Roku3 which has an app called Roku Media Player that will play movies from USB Drives attached to the Roku3 or files it sees on the same network it is on. This makes sense because it has codecs and can transcode file types. I have installed VLM Player on my Macbook Pro and it sees and will play all my MKV files from my Media Server. What determines or is there a way/means/setting so that the file being put inside the MKV container is in a specific video Format?
