I found this method to be a bit of a pain, and the streaming itself wasn't great for files over 1GB, so I purchased a Western Digital Media Center http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=320.This was an excellent purchase for me, as it plays MKV files of any size without difficulty.  You can also enable language settings and toggle subtitles with ease.  It even streams directly from Hulu, Youtube, Facebook, Netflix, Blockbuster, and Pandora if you enable those options.  This does cost some money (my media center was $125), but I'd say it was worth every penny.  Using the media center instead of inserting BD or DVDs each time is real nice!

I was actually looking between the Roku XDS and the WD TV Live Plus for playback, but if the WD plays .mkv files w/subtitles then i think i know which one ill be picking. (plus its on sale right now for 89$ and amazon prime eligible as well!)
