Web Interface on Android, and Hamachi?

Post by Dogma18 »

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of frustration trying to get MKV files to play in my Nexus 4's browser. It seems that I can play MP4 files easily but when I try to play MKV files, the PLAY button is greyed out. Also, when using the Transcode options, I get an error message saying "This item isn't playable via browser but can be sent to other renderers." What does that even mean??? :?
I'm rather a n00b when it comes to debugging stuff so would appreciate some help here. Btw, does it have anything to do with Web Video Streaming Engines as shown below?

Also, I'm trying to share my shows with a friend from another country. I'm wondering if I can set up a Hamachi network for him to join and access my shows using UMS web interface? Theoretically possible?

Please help, thanks!
