Well, Apple brought the fourth-gen Apple TV, which ranks first on our list of home media servers without any doubt, however, that being said, this doesn’t mean you can stream any movie video audio to Apple TV (4), for Apple TV (4) puts strict limitations on the video audio formats it supports. We found many users are obsessed with playing MKV with DTS videos downloaded online on Apple TV 4. 

 
Hence, prior to stream media from Mac/PC to Apple TV (4), it’s advisable to make clear on what Apple TV 4 supported formats are. Below the list of file formats playable on Apple TV 4 will help you get better know about Apple TV 4 formats.
