I used to have a BDP-S570 and I could never get it to play an MKV. I'm afraid that 'on paper' streaming capabilities of Sony Blu-ray players differ somewhat from reality in my experience.

...and the 370 isn't a 3D player so wouldn't that break it anyway?

 

[steakers]

think the 370 is a 3D player , dont tell me that ill be gutted could have sworn when i bought it it was 3D

 

[John Duncan]

Um...:-(

says with sofware update will be 3D , AS FOR MKV ON A USB UM can you be a little more specific please john.

 

[John Duncan]

I believe that that site is wrong. AFAIK, 3D only starts on the 4-series, firmware or not.

Be more specific how? I was saying that if the file is 3D then it won't be recognised, but this is speculation on my part. Googling will give you some resources on mkv play in general, since it seems a bit hit or miss.

Sony S370 definitely does not support 3D.

damm , when i got the player 3D wasnt a thing i was interested in but have taken a fancy to it now anyone reccomend a bluray player with 3d playback then

Sony S470 / 480 will suit you well.

been looking at this and think a little trip out to the shops is in order later . thanks .

like your set up looks very good.

Sony S470 / 480 will suit you well.

Although from the OP's experience with the '370 and my experience with the '570, I think it's a pretty certain bet that neither is going to play MKV files, which is what the OP wants to do

 

[steakers]

ok then different slant on this , basically the mkv file plays direct when usb is plugged in the tv ok , but sound wont be through the amp , if i run a optical into my amp will the sound be true 3D as only comes up as dolby surrond ???

s 480 got today will feedback .

Optical cannot carry hd audio.

its fine now the sony 480 plays the files , and is excellent for what i need . thanks anyway
