it seems that you need MOBO Player but I'll double check

check the white paper 

[JakeSully]

if it says it supports MKV then you don't need any addional app to play it then Movie app that comes as default should support MKV automaticly and play it up

I would really recommend getting MX Player with a seperate DTS plugin instead. In streaming a 1080P mkv over WIFI I found that MX Player outperforms the default Movie app, especially when DTS audio codec is used (the Movie app like many other movie players is unable to play the sound due to DTS codecs missing from Android).

@uliwooly : that's the whitepaper for the ZR, not the ZL.

Yes,  you just need to get VLC Player from Play Store. MX Player has some problem with dts sound, but it can play the .mkv without sound.
