mkv files which downloaded using chrome and idm. and one more thing some other mkv files are able to play with vlc, this particular file I downloaded from youtube by using idm via google chrome. Ya i tried these thing, when playing this file with different multimedia player in Linux it is not playing. My VLC plays almost anything I ask it to including ".mkv" files. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily You can also make sure that VLC is current by using its stable PPA. The other user was trying to tell you to try another multimedia player in Linux to see if it would play the ".mkv" files, like "smplayer". Try going into your Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), look up VLC and "mkv" and install anything that seems relevant, like all VLC plugins, and install " ubuntu-restricted-extras", "mplayer2" stuff, & "smplayer".
