If you've posted but not received an answer, please reply to the thread you've started.

Build 422 is available and it imports MKV as video.

[matanlevy]

I have downloaded build 422.. and now not only it wont add the mkv files to my library
also when i click "File-> open media file"
it doesn't open it with MC it opens it with my default player for the mkv file (bsplayer)..

please help

What DirectShow filters are you using to handle playback of the files?  MC is a DirectShow player, and requires you to have the appropriate filters installed to handle playback.  There is more information on this here: http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/DirectShow_Playback_Guide

The "official" matroska (mkv/mka) playback package is CCCP, and using it is strongly recommended.  More here: http://www.cccp-project.net/

[matanlevy]

I have just installed the CCCP as you recommended
However I cant get MC to play my mkv files nor add them to my library..

thanks for the fast respond

[JimH]

Try copying one of the MKV files.  The reason for this is that you may already have imported it as a data file.

[matanlevy]

Thank you very much!

When i copied the file it played it and added it to the library.
But now I got one last question:
If i have understand right, my video is tagged as data?
How can i move it to the video section?

[glynor]

Go to the Documents section of the Tree in MC, which will show all of the files tagged as data.  Then select the files you want to change and hit Tag in the Action Window.  Then, in the Tag Action Window, click on the little tools button in the upper left corner of the Action Window box and choose Also Show --> Media Type.

Then, with the files selected that you want to change, select the Media Type (which will be set to Data) and change it to Video and hit Enter.  Like this:

[JimH]

Your previously imported files are probably imported as Data.  You need to change the "Media Type" to "Video" for those files.  Future files shouldn't be a problem.

You may need to add "Media Type" to a view to do this.  You can edit any view scheme by right clicking on it.

[matanlevy]

Mmmm..
Lets say hypothetically I am too dumm to wait for your answer...
and by "mistake" deleted all the mkv section from my documents in the library.. can i retrieve them? 

sorry:(

[JimH]

Ha ha!

Import again.  Under options for the import, uncheck the option called "Ignore files previously removed from the library"

Don't worry about it... the answers you're stimulating are potentially useful to others.

[glynor]

You'll have to make a special View Scheme that shows "All Files" (which is useful to have anyhow).  I can explain later on if you need, but try searching this forum for how to make your own top-level view scheme (I know Alex or Marko explained this in the past).  Try searching "+root +view +scheme" and you should get some results...

EDIT: Something like this (though I know there are better links out there): http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=37870.0

koivu_11 had the same problem a few days ago. He found his "TV" files with my assistance:

Thanks, Alex.  I knew you had that "All Media View Scheme" thread somewhere (well, I thought it was either you or Marko, leaning towards you), but I couldn't find it easily.
