Windows 10: Can't cast youtube (with edge) and .mkv files to Samsung UHD SmartTV

Hi!
I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. I am running windows 10 on my PC and I have a 2015 UHD Samsung TV UE48JU6400. When I try to cast mkv files it just says loading on my tv and a message comes up that says" The selected format is not currently supported" which quickly "okays" itself and the loading bubbles on the TV keep "loading".
The problem is that I know the tv can play .mkv files ( from USB devices, Samsung link, and all that). Also when I'm in Edge and hit cast to device on my TV on youtube it does that same thing !
Cast to device only works on facebook pictures, .avi files and mp4 files. Please help - I've been searching the whole internet for an answer and I can't find it !
Thank you so much !

Can't cast to device in windows 10 - only works with avi, mp4 not mkv

How can one use Chromecast using Windows 10 Microsoft Edge Browser?

I have Windows 10 Microsoft Edge Browser and those three horizontal lines on the upper right screen below the X to close out the Browser has a list of features including "Cast to Device" and when I click on that option my Chromecast version 1 are not one
of the devices on the network that the Microsoft Edge Browser recognizes.

In fact, my Dell computer has an HDMI "INPUT" that I actually inserted my Chromecast into and the Chromecast when using the HDMI input on the Dell All-In-One PC Desktop/Tablet type Device, it acts just like it would if I had it attached to my HDMI input
via my SmartTV?

Is there a plug-in I am missing that needs to be loaded onto EDGE? Apparently, Microsoft has already confirmed that EDGE is a 100% 4K UHD Compliant Browser, which to knowledge is the only Browser currently certified as UHD ready, neither CHROME or FIREFOX
or any of the other Browsers are UHD ready, so from that perspective even though Chromecast is only 1080p at best, it likely is still not obsolete given if you have a 4K monitor with upscaling functionality, then anything you cast onto the Chromecast in 1080p,
likely would invariably be up-converted to 4K in the EDGE Browser ONLY, NOT Google CHROME or FIREFOX.....
Any suggestions?
