@Doug McMahon I don't think so because it can play for instance mp4 or avi files. Moreover MKV is a very popular container format, and not a video codec. I'm not an expert, but the Ubuntu Touch platform should use the same infrastructure as the desktop, so it should use the Gstreamer multimedia framework that has no problem with any kind of codecs or containers.
