    MKV Files won't play in v1809


    Ok so, i've noticed that v1809 will NOT play MKV files in VLC or any other video player. They work perfectly on my other computer which is still running v1803. Is there a fix?

    :)

  2. Problem with mkv Files

    Hi,

    Experiencing issues in playing mkv files after an update may have something to do with the video card driver. If you have another mkv player app or program, we suggest that you try playing those files using another app or program to help us sort out this
    issue.

    If in case the issue persists, we suggest running video troubleshooter. Just click
    Find and fix problems playing movies, television, or video on this
    link.

    You may also try rolling back the video card driver. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
    • Locate and right-click your display adapter, then select Properties.
    • Select the Driver tab and click the Roll Back Driver option.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

    MKV Files won't play in v1809

    PS4 external play options

    MKV is a container format which can hold unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file, but PS4 can play MKV files with the following specification:
    • H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2
    • MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital)


    Once the MKV you add to PS4 does not meet the above requirements, the problem occurs.


    To solve the issue, there are many methods and here list two of them:

    1. Handbrake is the go to free converter for video files on Mac.

    HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder

    Install it and then point it at one of your MKV files and convert to one of the preset MP4 defaults in the Handbrake sidebar. Under "Regular" you should be fine with "Normal" or "High Profile" settings.

    2. A step by step guide on Does PS4 Play MKV.

    The article introduces a detailed guide to help you solve PS4 won't play MKV issue.
