Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 47.95 (200000
00/417083) -> 23.98 (20000000/834166)

[Illico]

That could depend on:
- h264 profile and level used
- h264 coder used and encoding options used
- library used to create mkv (mkvmerge v4.4.0) sometime due to header compression not supported by some devices.

Could you provide MediaInfo result of your file ?

Here is the info for the file in question, and for another that fails
