VLC error that does not play MKV video happens at times, i.e., fail to open an MKV file, show a grey screen, or an error pops up a window while playing MKV file, and even loading MKV indefinitely. What’s worse, deleting preferences, reinstalling, and even rebooting will not solve the freezing, skipping, or stuttering problem. To solve the issue, a 100% workable solution is to use DumboFab to convert MKV to another VLC friendly format like H.264 .mp4.
