No - I don't have a solution since that.
But I have realized that it is generally a very big problem with .mkv- files from Youtube to download and - if sometimes goes well - to play such files with VLC.
What are you using to download the files? I use youtube-dl and can't remember the last time I had a problem. But, I usually use mpv to watch videos and not vlc. When I do use vlc, I also can't remember ever having a problem.
Can it be, that .mkv-files - made from Windows-machines or Macs - has own formats eq. special formats of .mkv ?
It shouldn't unless they used a weird MS Win / MacOSX proprietary codec, but we already established that the file you have is uses a regular codec that is well supported.
Have you tried re-encoding with ffmpeg or handbrake? If ffmpeg can't re-encode it, that might give you some info as to what the issue is, for example.
