You can play through the Media Player plugin which is already installed in OpenATV 6.2
Thanks for reply, yes it does play MP4 files, but still unable to play MKV files, is there any plugin or another image that supports MKV format, also can i install codects to play different formats.

You have to install ffmpeg package and serviceapp/exteplayer3 plugin. That's all you need to see any media formats including avi, mkv and many others.
I have tested it on an Edision OS mini plus with OpenATV 6.2 and played very smooth MKV files without installing any additional packages

Because it already preinstalled.
For install it from feed type in terminal following commands:
opkg install ffmpeg
opkg install enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceapp
Or else download e2iplayer plugin. After installation restart the box and then open the plugin. You should install the additional required packages it asks you and after that you could see a link called media. Plug in your USB open the media link and you should be able to open MP4 or mkv files.
That's it!

e2iplayer dozn't install ffmpeg itself. This package have to be installed separately.
With e2iplayer installed in openATV 6.2 (plus all additional packages to download and install to recommended locations after opening e2iplayer) i am able to watch every mkv, mp4 file i tested.
I plug usb stick then : E2iplayer >All > MEDIA > /media/sda1 and select .mkv or .mp4 file.
installed both
1. ffmpeg package and serviceapp/exteplayer3 plugin
and
2. e2iplayer
now E2 Player access usb mkv files, also show play window but does not start play (it shows opening, pls wait)
2nd exteplayer3 plugin is not shown in plugins, how i would access it
pls advice how to resolve it

exteplayer3 is not a plugin. It's system player that have to be turn on in serviceapp as show on figs.
Availability of ffmpeg you can check by typing in terminal

Type in terminal next command
opkg list-installed | grep mediaplayer
If mediaplayer is installed, System answer you about
root@spark:~# opkg list-installed | grep mediaplayer
enigma2-plugin-extensions-mediaplayer - 2.7+git19400+8a0ab02-r0
If so, just type on remote control "play", case usb file with MKV and try play it.
e2iplayer of course can play any file but also need some tuning like turning on external exteplayer3 (see figs)
in terminal it is confirmed as under

changed movie player
selected (extenal eplayer3) without buffering, but still same result mkv file not playing,
May be i have to change the image openatv to OpenPLI, pls advice
Maybe you just have corrupted MKV file?
It dozn't matter what image you have got (pli or atv).
And do you try play with mediaplayer?
its strange, i have tried many working mkv files (even reformated usb from fat32 to ntfs), alongwith mp4 files. MP4 files plays perfectly but mkv does not. Also i tried mediaplayer, but unfortunately it does not access usb it shows "Parent Directory" only unable to reach usb, any other option pls
changed media player directory, now it can access usb but it only plays mp4 files and not mkv files
