Just installed linux using the mint 13 MATE distro, and installed xbmc. All of my other video files are working, but none of the mkv's are. Any idea why?

Log file of opening xbmc, trying to play an mkv, and than exiting xbmc.

Seems you're trying to play a video over http? You'll want to at first turn on Debug Log ging as that will give you some more info.
