By hand you load the broken file into MKVToolNix, select the content you want to merge (you can also load multiple files to for example merge with subs) and hit the button. Orca’s MKV Fix appears to do more than that. I would give Orca’s MKV Fix a chance.
I don’t need to to do anything more than just remux the existing file content, so MKVToolNix might be better. I’ll report my results later today or tomorrow.
Thanks!

Hey man - I just wanted to chime back in and say thanks @OJHH - I tried Orca’s MKV Fix after all, and it worked like a charm. It remuxed a 2 GB file in about 20 seconds and it now plays back fine on the Xbox One via Direct Play, no transcoding! And most importantly, no stopped playback anymore!
Also, thanks to @wrighty11 for pushing me in the direction to just fix the file anyway. Although I didn’t try Meteor, I’m guessing I would have had a similar experience as Orca’s MKV Fix.
Cheers to you both!
Hey up,
I might give that Orca MKV fix a try. Meteor just skips over the broken bits but tbh its better than trying to find your spot over and over again.
Also changing the video quality from default to 3mbps works well too. no need to fix any files, just remember to change your out put every time.

I hear you, but as far as I’m concerned, decreasing my bit rate is not an acceptable solution. I expect the highest quality video possible, and ripping a 40 GB Bluray should playback at its original bit rate on the Xbox One now that it support native MKV playback. Some of my Bluray rips average 30 Mbps or more, so decreasing to 3 Mbps looks horrible - especially in dark scenes.
yeah I get you,
It just seems odd that it doesnt just skip over the broken bits but instead just dropping the file and spitting its dummy out

Agreed. It would appear that Plex’s ability to playback/transcode is far superior than Microsoft’s implementation of MKV playback. The sad thing is, if no one is reporting these issues to Microsoft, we are unlikely to see a fix ever appear on the Xbox One. I don’t even know how to report a problem with MKV playback to their team.
