    [SOLVED] - can't use mkv file with smplayer

    Could someone please help me with this? A friend of mine tried to send me a video. He must have used a codec that my mplayer doesn't use. Since I've never diagnosed a mplayer problem before, I was wondering if someone could help me diagnose what I need to do to view the file.

    Code:
    /usr/bin/mplayer -noqui
    
    MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
    mplayer: could not connect to socket

    MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video

    - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
     Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
     disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
    - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
     It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
     gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
     DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
     won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
     [ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
      '--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
      'mplayer-dbg'.]

    At least, a Google search on video format mkv finds this.

        It won't open in mplayer, smplayer, vlc, or dragon.

        I suppose the video could have something wrong with it. But I didn't think so when I saw all of the debug information.

          if you have the nessessary codecs, perhaps its a bad file, try avidemux if there is an index issue it should fix it for you.

            Re: [SOLVED] - can't use mkv file with smplayer

            After spending the better part of my weekend inside because of a fricken blizzard, I played around with this a bunch.

            I realized that I was on the beta nvidia drivers (195.xx something). I uninstalled them and then went back to the Ubuntu blessed 185 drivers. Everything works fine now.

                I honestly don't know if I can really blame the drivers as that doesn't quite make sense. But it did start working better after I went back. I used Envyng to uninstall and install.

                Oh well, I can watch my MKV file now!!
