Sony plug-in or codec for .mkv files?
Sony does not have a specific plugin or codec for .mkv files. The .mkv is a container format which can contain various video and audio codecs, subtitles, and other metadata. Note also that the Sony Bravia TV supports some codecs out-of-the-box and some not. The best way to check is looking into the TV’s manual or the TV’s specification in the website. See also other codec problems.
Alternatively, you can try converting the .mkv files to a format that is supported by Sony Bravia TV. This such as MP4, using a video conversion software. This will ensure that the video can be played on the TV without any compatibility issues.
You can also use a media server software such as Plex or Kodi. These software can transcode the files on-the-fly to a format that is compatible with your TV. See also the article on DScaler5 as well as the Haali Media Splitter which is also on here.
