Remux a MKV file for your Apple TV

Prerequisites

Make sure that your MKV file contains “Apple TV compatible” codecs (especially H.264 for the video). Subler only works if the media formats inside the MKV/Matroska container are something your Apple TV can play. If that’s not the case, the new Subler movie simply won’t work. See How to stream MKV files to your Apple TV for details (if you don’t have compatible codecs, you have to choose another way like described in the mentioned article).

Create a new Subler project

Let’s start. At first, create a new project and click the “Add Tracks” button (button with the plus symbol in the upper left corner).

Subler Macos Catalina

Choose your MKV file that you want to remux for your Apple TV. Subler shows you all the available tracks in the video (normally at least one video and one audio stream). Just add them all because you can select the right ones in the next step.

Select your tracks

Now, select the video and audio tracks that you would like to be part of your new file.

You can also add subtitles (for instance by adding a .srt file). Depending on the language you set, your Apple TV will show them (for instance choose “German” in Subler and set “German subtitles” in the settings of your Apple TV and voilà: They will show up).

Sublime Text Editor For Mac

The next step is to send your project to the queue and choose the new file name (default file extension is .m4v which is fine). Start the queue with the play symbol and wait. Some minutes later, your file is ready and can be streamed to your Apple TV.
