Windows 10: Vlc media player freezing/stuttering while playing specific mkv files.

Well, I came across a mkv file and, unlike other mkv files, it's thumbnail was not visible vlc thumbnail instead of video thumbnail. When I played it, it worked perfectly fine, but when I was skipping using keyboard shortcuts and going back, it would get stuck for 2-3 seconds. Even when I skipped using my mouse on the timeline, it would get stuck for approx the same time.I later transferred the file on my smartphone and it showed, "The file is corrupt!", in my gallery. I haven't tried playing in vlc android.All other MP4 and mkv those whose thumbnails are visible run perfectly with no pr

Trying to play MKV movie file on VLC player android HELP

so I can get a mkv movie to play for like 3 minutes, then it starts freezing up... I am running stock android 7.1.1 on my zte axon 7 phone... and vlc player and nothing else tinkered with...

why won't it work? is there another video player that will work? vlc player seems to be fine on desktop windows 10 for the same files so its odd...

 

Video is stuttering when playing mkv files with any media player. It's a Surface Pro 4.

Which media players have you tried? MP4 and MKV are containers, so did you ensure the audio and video codecs used in both types of test files were exactly the same? If not, take any MP4 that plays back smoothly and convert it to an MKV
without re-encoding using
mkvmerge GUI (basically just drag & drop onto that app and save as MKV, preferably with the header compression option turned off). It should not take very long to do this and you'll end up with the exact same contents of the MP4 in an MKV container instead.
Now play the MKV with various media players and see if it stutters.

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft community.

We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

To assist you better, I like to know; is issue confined only, when trying to play .MKV files using VLC media player?

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to try playing the .MKV file format using any other media player, which support .MVK file format and check if it helps.

If .MVK files play properly with other media player then it might be an issue with VLC media player.

I suggest you download and install the latest VLC media player from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.

Refer to the below link:
