I ripped my tv shows to MKV and they don't play.
I decided to rip my tv show dvds and have available on a DLNA server and then I bought the BDP 5200/12 and thought I would be able to play all my ripped files. I chose to rip it in MKV so I could have subtitle and multiple audio tracks. It plays for half a second and then stops.
here is some kind of a transcript from mediainfo

is there something that I missed? Is there some obvious reason the blu-ray player doesn't play these files?
