Does Chromecast support mkv? If not, why?

yes, it does support the mkv container. WebM and MKV files are usually parsed with the same parser. So pretty much any player that can play WebM can play MKV given the encapsulated codec is supported.

disclosure: i work on the Chrome team but have nothing to do with chromecast.
