SGP511 mkv playback issue

Hi,

I bought xperia z2 tablet and I love it.

Unfortunately I can't use the most important feature for me - video playback.

I tried to watch several mkv movies / tv series and it doesn't work on xperia z2 tablet.

Fortunately for me I have Nexus 5 which plays all files I tried on xperia.

I tried several players on xperia - mxplayer, vlc, moboplayer and any other c*rap from play store. It did play extracted mp4 file from mkv.

I tried several conversions using vlc - mp4 + mp3 sound, mp4 + mp3g, mp4 + wav.

It doesn't do the job.

Personally I love xperia z2 tablet. If I will not find solution to this issue I will return it because it doesn't do the main function for me. (god bless Amazon and their return policy).

What else can I check before I send it back?

Use MXplayer from the play store - Works flawlessly and is probably what most owners use

As I wrote before i tried several players and it is not working.

Same files can be played on my nexus 5 without any problems. I checked with my colleague on iPad and he can play same videos with VLC without issue.

What if you record a video using the camera in your tablet and then convert it to mkv using http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/? Does that play?
