Not all MKV files will play.

[jraymond4321]

Hello,

I've got several different movies in MKV format on my NAS box.

Some of them play fine on the AIOS, but others will not play at all. I get a the red circle "No" symbol in the upper left hand corner, and then it takes me back to the folder.

Is there something in the individual files I should look for that would prevent them from playing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pass the problematic files through "MediaInfo" and post the output here.

Nothing special about the encoding parameters.
Can you post a sample of that file ?
