Are you trying to play them to your tv via dlna? Because I think this is the TV's fault. Ask Philips.

Just plug your xbmc machine into the TV via HDMI.

So, no bluray player, no set top box, no playstation or xbox? They all require a cable to the TV, a kodi box is no different.

Many TVs will actually refuse an MKV file only over LAN but not over USB.
If your wife won't budge then your only hope is to sell the TV and buy a Philips (or other brand) "Android TV". It's a TV that is itself powered by Android, and can run Kodi directly :)

Yeah and I have seen other threads about the inadequacy of android for running kodi on both sony and philips android tvs.

Sure, but one does not make the wife mad when.. Wait, what if he upgraded the wife? That might work...

Wife 2.0 has been entirely satisfactory to date, likewise I am pretty sure she prefers Husband 4.0.
Mind you both 1.0 and 2.0 share a dislike for visible wires, but a kodi box sitting under or behind the TV has not been a problem to date.

But what ever you do, stay away from Wife 2.1b10. It's buggy and will spend all your resources on shoes.
