Does it support latest mkv codec?

Yes, I still download current films converted to MKV and have no issues.(I updated system software only once, about 3 months after I got it, that was about 2 years ago I think
1623035
Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

From memory mine played all the types supported by Linux & Android, including mp4, mkv, mov, avi, divx, ogg, mp3. I don't think it plays WMA, and probably doesn't play transport stream ts out of the box.

I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

It sounds like you both may have the same problem: not having the right codecs installed. Do a Google search for K-Lite Codec pack (it should be downloadable from free-codecs.com or CNet) and install that. I would also suggest getting Media Player Classic (aka: MPlayer or MPC) - this shouldn't make a difference, but it's a much lighter and simpler media player compared to both the Windows Media Player and Realplayer. MPC is downloadable from mpc-hc.sourceforge.net.

Have you checked the video codec needed and that it is installed on your computer?

It's a very picky player. Sometimes it does but most of the time it doesn't, and I'm not sure what the encoding requirements are to make it one of those special mp4's that will work. This player here Androset 1080P-TVBOX 1080p HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV 50 (Black 1080p tv box) will though. I have both of these players and the URL I pasted is a far better player in my opinion.

I have very positive experiences from using GOM player in playing many different media formats. It automatically find codecs and everything. Perhaps you should give it a try for the new AVCHD format also.

Yes it does run latest codecs and container formats but I have seen my (completely stock) freeze and had to be power cycled after and oddly encoded avi which I never found out what The actual video format was. Anyways I use it daily to play videos from all over and it runs great. Works exceptionally well with a plex server and Vimu or just the plex app. Vimu is better for local content in my opinion while plex app is great for ice films and 1 channel like xbmc which I don't believe runs on this box yet.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

Not sure with this as I returned it and the 4k tv. But anytime I download a mkv formatted video file it will always start playing with subtitles. I press the tools button on the remote and go down to subtitles and turn it off and they go away. Not sure if you have already tried this but that is what I have done!!

(For future purchasers) Yes, it allows AVI, MP4 and MKV (but MKV can only be played if it's renamed to MP4,oddly enough).

The mini PC can run XBMC and product good quality of video playback. Firmware before Feb 2014 has an issue with some video playback, moreover the issue was fixed in firmware 20140306. MKV is supported but the quality of playback may be not as good as expected because the hardware decode of MKV is not supported. If playing MKV is the major reason for purchasing this mini PC, you are not recommended to buy this mini PC.

I am not familiar with mkv files. It does stream m4v and mp4. A full specification sheet is here: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/mlw221_us.pdfAs far as battery life, I have not "run out" but it can easily cover a two hour featured film!
