I don't own an XBox anything but there's a list of supported file types for the Xbox One here:
http://support.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-o...dia-player-faq
The "coming late 2014" description for MKV implies MKV wasn't supported initially, but added via some sort of firmware/software update, which a quick Google seems to confirm:
http://news.xbox.com/2014/08/xbox-on...yer-smartglass
In the process of searching, I stumbled upon a list of the video and audio types supported within an MKV container:
http://support.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-o...eo/mkv-support

If you try to play a supported file type containing an unsupported type of audio or video, most players will display a message to that effect, or maybe an unsupported codec message (as opposed to an unsupported file type). I'd assume the Xbox One would probably do the same. It's not uncommon for a certain type of video or audio to be supported in one container (file type) but not another.

The MKV specs are evolving, and sometimes that'll upset a player even though it supports MKV (ie it'll play old MKVs fine but not always more recently created ones), however that's a different issue again.
