WDTV not playing video files Options

[outsiderr]

Hi there, I have a WDTV 1st gen NTSC. Initially I was using 1.02.10 FW but all of a sudden it was unable to play .mkv files which used to play before. I tried the system reset and test an .avi file and it worked, however, when I tried to play an .mkv file it went back to a blank black screen (it also wouldn't play the .avi file after that happened). I updated to 1.03 (Official) but same thing happened as above. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Here are the specs on one of the files causing this for me. I'm on the 1st gen, by the way.
