I can only play certain MKV

Hi all, I recently bought a WD Element (Not sure if it’s Gen 1 or 2). I realize that there are certain MKV file that I cannot play. Does anyone have any idea what’s going in? My current firmware ver is 1.01.12 so I am unsure if there are further updates that can solve this. Please help :frowning:

a) future firmware updates are unlikely to help: support fpor MKV header compression comes from the chipset. More: I don’t think any hardware upgrades will be available for the Gen 1 WDEP.

b) See this thread for the settings in MKV merge. MKV merge has a global option:

I’m not sure if this is relevant: for subtitles you’ll manually need to switch of header compression (I’m always doing i).

c) There is also a tool mkclean, but I’ve never used it.
