Can Samsung TV Play MKV? Why won't play some MKV on Samsung TV?

As far as we know, codec support is likely to be limited to whatever Samsung decided to support in their TV. Unfortunately the video's you play on the TV will need to be formatted in such a way that they are encoded using codecs supported by the TV. And an MKV is a container format which can hold various video and audio codecs. If your Samsung TV can't either read the MKV file or when it does the images are kind of distorted with poor audio, you may get some MKV videos encoded beyond Samsung TV's support. This is the main reason why you got into trouble to play MKV in Samsung TV.
