Cant play mkv files
Hi there, got almost everything working but MKV (h264) is a no go
i have even bought the mpeg2 license, when i start the file nothing happens. I have Raspberry Pi 2, using lastest Xbian from webpage, Config file looks like this, i did see a thread about changing gpu_mem but that was an old thread for older version of raspberry. initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000 gpu_mem_1024=256 gpu_mem_512=144 gpu_mem_256=100 initial_turbo=3 hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 disable_overscan=1 disable_splash=1 decode_MPG2=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Anyone got a clue ? Ohh i using NFS share to run the files, xvid files works fine so i know all that is working. |

RE: Cant play mkv files
It looks to be a nfs issue not kodi, to test copy the file locally and try it.

RE: Cant play mkv files

RE: Cant play mkv files
just tested your file on my RPi setup and all is fine, so problem in somewhere on your side.
can you try remove/re-add all your sources under Kodi and clean/re-scan your libraries? ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

Why not convert MKV to MP4 to have a try? Check out this article.

RE: Cant play mkv files
MKV plays just fine on a pi.
Remember that mkv is a container only. The video could already be mp4 inside it! |

RE: Cant play mkv files
Go to VLC Menu – From Tools menubar - Select Preferences option.
Select All Radio Button on the bottom left from the dialog window. Go to the Input/Codecs section – a list will appear. Select the File Caching(ms) option under the advanced section. Set it to 1000. Choppy videos spoil the fun of viewing experience. There can be several reasons behind a rough, jerky, or broken video. Reasons include faulty SD cards, technical glitches, audio/video codec issues, outdated media players, corrupt or damaged video files, unsupportable video file format, etc. Go to VLC Menu – From Tools menubar - Select Preferences option. Select All Radio Button on the bottom left from the dialog window. Select Input/Codecs option. Select the Video Codecs option. Select FFmpeg option - Disable Hardware Decoding option on the list that appears. Most VLC users get frustrated when the VLC media player produces no audio while playing the videos. Like viewing, aural experience is equally essential for enjoyment. If the problem continues to persist after checking all the sound-related panels and speakers on our devices, just check the steps. Go to VLC Menu – From Tools menubar - Select Preferences option. Click on the Audio icon. Select the Enable Audio option. Go to Output option and Select options from Output Module and HDMI/SPDIF audio passthrough. |

RE: Cant play mkv files
The best choice for playing MKV files is to use VLC media player software. To download this program, you can refer to the official download page from the main site of this company.
After downloading and installing this software, to make MKV files dependent on VLC, right-click on one of the files with this format and select the Properties option. Then on the General tab, click the Change option and select VLC Player from the screen that appears. After that, whenever you want to play MKV files, double-click on them to open them automatically with VLC. Method 2: Use codecs to be compatible with other players |
