Re: How to play .mkv file?
I agree, but with the error message gone that's progress at least. So what does it say instead? Maybe best post the entire output.deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 16, 2018 4:01 pm I tried the command above , the error message is not there now, But both the files do not run.

Another option is to try another player. Can you try what happens if you install mpv

Re: How to play .mkv file?
That is indeeed progress! When I open the file through mpv .the error is Failed to recognize file format. When I try opening the file through vlc it doesnt give any error at all , while it previously did give error. I also tried with other players on the system but it wasnt successfulgm10 wrote: ⤴Sun Sep 16, 2018 4:15 pmI agree, but with the error message gone that's progress at least.

Try mpv again like this to get some more information:

Re: How to play .mkv file?
Together with mkvinfo not showing Code IDs I would at this point expect the issue to lie at the container-level. The quite possibly easiest fix would be
If that produces a playable Fixed.Shane.1953.720p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv you may of course feel free to mv it over the original. Same thing should be possible with the .mp4.
Code: Select all

Re: How to play .mkv file?
Weird about vlc, sounds like it just crashes. You can also run it -v verbose but probably won't make a difference. Based on the mpv output the file is probably corrupt, it cannot parse the mkv header, however, maybe you get lucky and it will play if you start it like this:deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:57 am Vlc doesnt say anything.

Re: How to play .mkv file?
No, that simply means they were pirated from a blu-ray, it says nothing about the file format. So, either buy/rent the real thing, watch it on a streaming service, or try your luck downloading it again I guess.deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 17, 2018 6:03 am Can it be something about bluray support as the files have bluray in their name?

Re: How to play .mkv file?
I just thought, last try could be to force a generic x264 codec and disable the audio:
I don't think it will work, but at least you tried.

Re: How to play .mkv file?
You left out the "copy" bit of "-c copy". However, given the error you get that's not to say it would in fact likely matter any; the file's seemingly simply too damaged.deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:54 amCode: Select all

If you care: note that with Transmission you can redownload/restart the torrent, wait for it to start, pause it, move the file you already have in place of the "Shane.1953.720p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv.part" it is now creating, right-click the file in Transmission and choose "Verify Local Data" so as to have only damaged parts redownloaded. Other torrent clients will have similar functionality.

Re: How to play .mkv file?
That's a good information about the torrents. Thank you.rene wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 17, 2018 8:28 amYou left out the "copy" bit of "-c copy". However, given the error you get that's not to say it would in fact likely matter any; the file's seemingly simply too damaged.deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:54 amCode: Select all
