Today, after the OTA-13 update, I have tried again with a couple of MKV video
files.
One of them plays good, the other not. The difference is that the file that
doesn't plays has an AC3 audio track, the other not.
So, I believe that actually the problem is the audio format, and not the video.
@Doug McMahon
I don't think so because it can play for instance mp4 or avi files.
Moreover MKV is a very popular container format, and not a video codec.
I'm not an expert, but the Ubuntu Touch platform should use the same
infrastructure as the desktop, so it should use the Gstreamer multimedia
Maybe it only plays open source codecs like ogg/vorbis. If so then the
app is close to useless.
