Playing x.265 mkv on Roku Smart TV from smb network
Currently we are watching ripped x.264 mkv's ripped from DVD's on VLC app on Firestick. The files are stored on a Windows PC and this is going well. I am planning to rip/encode my Blu-rays that I don't have digital copies of with Handbrake to x.265 mkv. Will I be able to watch the x.265 mkv's on a Roku smart TV with a media player (other than Plex)? I am looking to looking to by a TCL w/ Roku but might not if this will be a problem. I understand that Plex will (should) work but it is slow to load movies and can be buggy/unpredictable, so would like to confirm that there is another option similar to what I have with VLC on the Firestick. Thank you in advance.
