  2. No! But I have the VLC Player too.
    I have no Codec Packs or something like this.

    ( I use my Lenovo to Flash and Repair Cell Phones and build my own monthly Windows AIO Integrated. So my System must clean for use all this Flasher Boxes etc.)

    Maybe some future windows updates will change this issue as OS still new, surely more updates will come with service packs to. If not so many free players as VLC to use as alternative.

    Two major problems with playing MKV files

    Hmm, I don't have any other media player such as VLC. Guess not everyone can reproduce this. Just noticed someone having the same problem in the Feedback app.

    jds63: Really hope they will, so far I've noticed quite a lot of small bugs. Trying my best to report them through the Feedback app.

    i don't know if anyone is still having this issue but i came across it recently and found a fix for it im running windows 8.1. just follow the photos: just search for the codec tweak tool and pick haali and then apply & close. i don't know why but this seams to fix the problem i hope it helps someone *Smile. good luck. *Smile

    same problem, solved changed manually the "language" while running the mkv

    obviously vlc opens it normally and it works with sound

    Two major problems with playing MKV files

    Hi there

    works fine in VLC with subtitles.

    BTW these files play on remote devices too such as TV's - and Chromecast -- run PLEX on your computer and install PLEX on smart phone --then you can use Smartphone as controller / handset for playing movies with Chromecast on remote TV - works fine (and subtitles).

    Cheers
