Xiaomi Redmi A2 won’t play MKV movies

“Does anyone have problems watching MKV videos on Xiaomi Redmi A2? When I try and watch MKV videos on my cell phone data, it keeps stopping.” If you have been having that issue as well, this guide may help you troubleshoot it. Just keep reading to learn how to make MKV files playable on your Xiaomi Redmi A2.

If you’re like me, you’ll probably have several MKV videos in your Xiaomi Redmi A2. MKV is a container format. The stock player of Xiaomi Redmi A2 doesn’t support playing MKV files yet. Fortunately, such a problem is solved by using a third party media player app. My favorite choice for playing MKV files on Xiaomi Redmi A2 is VLC media player - mostly because it has built-in support and doesn’t require that you install anything else. But sadly this way doesn’t work all the time, especially when you try to play a .MKV file with high bitrates or high resolutions. In that case, I would recommend converting MKV to H.264 encoded MP4 first. This requires a helpful MKV to Xiaomi Redmi A2 converter. The following guide will walk you through how to do this via using such a converter app.
