There is a Sticky Question about that issue: What plugins do I need to install to watch movies and listen to music?

I believe you have to install the mkv codec. You have to install and enable the rpm fusion repositories. A quick google search will take you to the site, it's very easy, you just follow the instructions on the page and its as easy as installing an rpm package. Here is the rpm fusion url.
