it wont play because mkv is not a format for streaming.
you will need the media converter plugin to convert it to MP4 format or you can convert it on your computer and then upload it..

if mkv contains h.264 video and acc audio, it can be played on modern browsers(chrome)

there are some modifications needed in order to make this work though.
such as add mkv into html5 player's js file, mark file format in database as video/mp4 etc.
I have tried it, it works
