Source from: How to Stream MKV Files to Apple TV via Plex?
If you have collected some MKV files and would like to use Plex to stream them to Apple TV, you're in the right place. Here's the tips on how to stream mkv files to apple TV via Plex easily and quickly.
Plex for Apple TV Supported Video/Audio Formats
From Plex official website, we know that the it supports direct play of video in the MP4 or MOV container with the H.264 or mpeg4 video codec, and either the AAC, MP3, or AC3 audio track. It can also direct play audio in MP3, and AAC (in the MP4 container). If you have some other unsupported files like MKV, you'd better convert MKV to Apple TV Plex app compatible formats first.
Note: Apple TV can’t play MKV files directly, the Plex media server will (in most cases) direct stream the file to the Apple TV by way of copying compatible streams or transcoding. But the problem is that it's CPU intensive. If you don't have a powerful enough PC, the transcoding will take longer time. That's why we suggest you converting MKV to Apple TV before Plex streaming.
To convert MKV to Apple TV Plex app, you can use Brorsoft Video Converter Ultimate is highly recommended here.
