Hi guys, been away for a while and need some expert advice.
I have an Apple TV Mk 4 and it works very well with VLC streaming MKV HD (1920x1080) files from my Mac. I now have a large 4K TV and would like to enjoy UHD (4K) content. Over the past 12 months I have managed to store most of my DVD and BluRay collection on the Matroska (MKV) container for convenience, so I meed a streaming device that will support that container.
A question or two...
(1) Does the Apple TV 4K run 4K movies from Netflix and Prime?
(2) Will the Apple TV 4K display 4K movies streamed from VLC on my Mac?
(3) VLC supports MKV (Matroska) files and plays them well in HD on my Apple TV Mk 4 but will it work (in UHD) on the Apple TV 4K?
I went to buy an Apple TV 4K yesterday and the bloke in the store told me the device ONLY SUPPORTS 4K WHEN USING APPLE'S SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. He told me the Apple TV 4K will not play 4K (UHD) from any other source. This sounds quite bizarre and all my attempts to find an answer to that have failed. Can some kind soul straighten me out on this?
