Honestly your best bet if you can't transcode, is to use an External player with the app, or as was previously suggested re-encode all your content to MP4 with AAC audio. You can direct play MKV's with AAC audio though.
Because if you force it to Direct Play, and it is an MKV with AC3 audio, you won't get sound.

That should imply no transcoding in the server side, but I would like to corroborate before buying it. The Fire Stick specification page says that it should support AC3 audio. I was thinking about upgrading to a Fire Stick. See the signature), and it certainly does not have the muscle to transcode. My OMV runs on a Atom 330 (nice, small, power efficient and silent. Subtitles are also an issue since the Chromecast does not support subtitles. mkv in 720p - 1080p with AC3 audio, but Chromecast does not like AC3.
