It must be an issue with the codec. Your system may not have the right codecs to render mkv files. Can you tell me the exact version of windows 8.1? ( like Pro, Pro N, Home etc ). If it is any version with an ending 'N', it means the media pack of windows is not installed, which can use issues with media playback (including online streaming). If it is the issue with codecs, then you can just install the codecs and fix the issue. I use K-litecodec, which is free. You can download it from here K-lite codec
That can be one of the reason. :idea: If we don't have codec installed properly on our system then video player may behave malfunction. You are quite right on it. By installing proper codec again this problem can be solved. It is worth to try it out.
