Default Question regarding .mkv

hello I just bought captivate three days ago and yet haven't figure out lots of it yet.

I love this device, but only problem that I got now is that it plays regular .mkv video files without converting it but I can't skip or fastforward it. I tried to dl some other video programs, but that wasn't helpful.

and you know you can't just finish the 3 hours of movie at once.

If someone knows how to fix this plz tell me

thx

I played it through the stock player, and all I did was tap the screen and I was able to move the seekbar. My guess is that you have a broken MKV file.

You might want to try RockPlayer but you have to side load it to use the ARMV7 version.

It could be the format of the movie. I've got some ctrlHD movies that are working.

If you play your MKVs on your computer using vlc, can you seek? And most likely this is going to be moved to the general or app thread once a mod sees it.
