WDLive isn't able to play specific mkv files

wdlive isn’t able to play a lot of my files

especially 720p mkv- files with subtitles

what happens if i play them:

well its not loading them, so there comes the loading screen but nothing is happening…

i can go back but then ALL files, also simple .avi files are unable to play → so its loading them forever and they don’t start.

so i have to shut down the wd live and restart it, then i can play my normal files until i try to open the kind of files which i added in this thread

Welcome to the forums.

Yup, this is well known – remux with MKVMerge 4.0 or earlier (or don’t play these files! :>)
