I'll return to evaluating Playback, its UPnP and MKV -> MP4 conversion capabilities later, in my next article dedicated to streaming video on your Wi-Fi network.) Note that, should you want to convert the videos from MKV to MP4 with the current (1.8.10 ) version of Playback, it'll refuse to convert “ Planet” - and, for that matter, of the test suite, “ Harry Potter” and, “ Monsters” as well.
