smplayer does not play mkv videos

[jd1008]

smplayer Version: 16.11.0 (revision 8242) on Linux:

1- It does not show the video content of .mkv files. It only plays the audio.
2- The "+" on the bottom of the playlist needs to provide a choice to add a playlist without deleting current items in the playlist.

Can you send the mplayer/mpv log (menu View) after trying to play a mkv file?

MPlayer2 is obsolete. I suggest to install mplayer or mpv.
