    nas drive wont stream .mkv to the samsung tv

    hi guys

    here is my setup
    samsung 55led 3d tv UE55C8000
    buffalo 8tb nas drive
    gigabit netgear router

    so here is the story

    im trying to stream the files from my nas drive to the tv
    avi, mp4 stream just fine
    but when i try to stream the .mkv i get file not supported !!
    but yet if i take this file from the nas drive and put it on a usb stick and into the side of the tv it will play it ?!?!?
    this is baking my noodle
    my tv is on the latest firmware form samsung.

    i have an LG tv upstairs that can play the files no problems ?!?!?

    has anyone had any similar problems and solved them ??

    installing a server on my pc defeats the nas drive purpose so im not installing onto pc.

    any help here greatly appreciated

    thanks

    dave

    I have a Netgear Readynas104 and stream all of the files. Have you checked if you have the latest DLNA software and the latest firmware for your NAS?
