I didn't really know where to put this for you SubJunk. So as i test this MKV no play issue, i'll post logs here.
(also have a problem uploading zip's... so im hosting them on my dropbox till that gets fixed..)

This Test on DirecTV Failed:

This Test on PS3 PASSED: (played audio and video no problem)

DeFlanko, could you test this version for me and post the results

Downloading now, Test in the Morning after coffee...

Edit: Couldn't help myself .. lol

This Test is Half and Half, but calling it a FAILED:

DirecTV, but went to the Transcode folder to try each of the transcoders... MEncoder failed, AVISync failed, FFMpeg showed video but no audio.
-- now i think it failed out of the gate because i have the CONF file set to use MEncoder... how can i setup Custom FFMpeg settings? Either way MEncoder is not working.

Will test on PS3 in the AM...

This test on the PS3 PASSED:

weird..

MKV's are absolutely fine on PS3... other renderers no so well... I think its because of MEncoder being the primary Transcoder, while FFmpeg was fine (just some audio issues that needed to be forced and i think it would have been ok.)

That is strange, I'm not having issues on my Samsung TV's as all i use is MKV's. I'm going to take another look at you logs and see if can see anything

So as i go through some of the forum members i'm seeing a lot of the issues are related to 3D MKV files...

I don't have a 3D anything(TV, or File) to test this with.

So but i did find this over at the Mastroska site: http://matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html

The 3D support is still in infancy and may evolve to support more features.

The StereoMode element used to be part of Matroska v2 but it didn't meet the requirement for multiple tracks. There was also a bug in libmatroska prior to 0.9.0 that would save/read it as 0x53B9 instead of 0x53B8. Readers may support these legacy files by checking Matroska v2 or 0x53B9. The olders values were 0: mono, 1: right eye, 2: left eye, 3: both eyes

I also think this forum went into some detail about this as well: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6081

Thoughts?

Mate, i'll have a look into it, but i'm in the same boat as you. I don't have a file but i do have a 3D TV. So i may attempt to convert a 3D movie i have to test but i'm not sure it will be a greatly used feature.

AFAIK we aren't able to support the type of 3D files they are talking about (where each video stream is stored separately) because DLNA doesn't support that.
However most 3D files online are SBS (side-by-side) or OU (over-under) which has both video streams joined into the same video stream. We do support those files and if they don't work it's a bug
