Plex

Although MKV offers a richer media experience than any other current format With the features such as alternate audio tracks, multilingual subtitles and chapter points. However, it is not welcomed by Plex Media Sever. In Plex official site, it said that Plex for PlayStation app does not currently support Direct Playing of MKV container videos. That’s why so many people have MKV on Plex playback issue on Reddit.

According to Plex media server supported format, if you want to play your local MKV file on Plex, you’d better convert MVK to MP4. And for Direct Streaming, you also need to keep this MP4 video with AAC audio and 20Mbps or lower bitrate. This need your MKV Converter has the ability of allowing consumers to adjust the video parameters.

Considering the features of easy-to-use and economy, I recommend Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. It is powerful enough to convert any MKV file to Plex supported MP4, AVI, MOV, etc and enables you to change video size, bitrate, codec, frame rate and audio sample rate, channel, etc. Its intuitive interface can make you know the next step clearly.
