You can now play 4K videos from a USB drive or home server on the PS4 Pro via the Media Player app, Sony announced in an official blog post on Monday. Of course, you’ll still need a 4K TV to watch it as intended.
The only caveat is that the files must be in MP4 format, as opposed to the more popular MKV container, which not only supports more video codecs, but can also store subtitles. It doesn't have decode support for HECV aka H.265 either, so you'll need to ensure the files are encoded using H.264.
As a reminder, Sony added that any USB drives that have been formatted to serve as extended storage for your PS4 can’t save or play videos. They can only carry your games and apps.
