Ubuntu 11.10 issues.

Mediatomb doesnt like .mkv files, so went on to try trusty PMS, which works wonderfully on Win7, on my new linux machine. Not anywhere near the program it is on windows.
Following was taken from the "traces" tab. If there is anything else I can get that might help, I might be willing. But the fact of the amount of hoops I have to jump through to get this working is ridiculous. On linux that is.

Please disregard. I am a linux noob, and failed big time on this one.
