[Nyarlathotep]

This occurs with any MKV I try that has MPEG-2 content. Here is the FFmpeg info from one of them:

The files appear on the player as "MPEG," as though it were going to play them "natively."

For others reading this thread, after the second updated profile that Paul sent, I was able to play MPEG-2 MKVs fine.

Problem solved. Thanks, Paul for the exemplary service as usual!

Glad that works :). We'll include the updated device profile in the upcoming Mezzmo v4.1 release.
