    Ask WD Support to clarify once and for all whether the Mini supports MKV or not, and then tell them to accordingly fix the darn manual. As for the MP4 files, look at the limits specified in your manual and see if the file exceeds them (use MediaInfo to check). If you want to watch unsupported formats, you'll have to transcode to a supported one, which obviously implies quality loss (unless you have the original sources and can encode once more).
