Let me try to explain where I am coming from when trying to support all the
available content available on the backend.  There are far too many types
that Android does not natively support.  For instance, there is nothing I
can do if you store your video rip as an ISO of the dvd.  However, I do
have a common ground to work with in that Android natively HTTP Live
Streaming.  It provides acceptable performance, bandwidth, quality, etc.
It also helps to not kill the device battery as it can take advantage of
hardware acceleration and not try to do everything in software.

Here is the list of what Android will support natively:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

But I have found that not even everything on that list works for me.  I am
using a Nexus 6 with Android 5.0.1.  I also have a Android TV with Android
5.0.  I have tried many ways, but the the Bluray rips made with MakeMKV do
not play on any of my devices.  It was my intention to let mp4, 3gp, mkv
play natively, since they are on the list, however, I could not get most of
them to play.  So I went back to HLS and that was able to play them.  Same
with recordings.

What I am really hoping for is getting as close to a Netflix or Google Play
Movies & TV experience as possible.  Having to force an HLS transcode
throws a bit a wrinkle in the mix, but, once its going, it plays through
pretty seamlessly.
