Windows 8.1 'Play To' option. Can more file formats be added?

SeeMoreDigital · 27th June 2014, 11:02

Now that I have more 'smart devices' connected to my home network, I've discovered that the 'Play To' option in Windows 8.1 is pretty limited with regard to the file types it's able to push. Currently it supports: .avi, .mp3, .m2ts, .m4a, .mp4, .wav, .wma, .wmv and a few others: -

But I'm wondering if it's possible to configure Windows 8.1 to support more 'push' file types, such as: .mkv, .mka, .flac and maybe even .dsf and .dff?

Can anybody help? Is it possible?

Cheers
