I have an ReadyNAS Ultra with RAIDiator 4.2.28 and has a similar issue.
A lot of my mkv-files is not able to be added when scanned.
Also tried a manual scan through SSH, and got the:
metadata.c:686: warn: Opening /c/media/Videos/High Quality/MOVIENAME.mkv failed! [Cannot allocate memory]
I have tried to remux the mkv with MKVToolNix, tried to rename it, and a lot of different things.
It does not seem I have space or memory issue either:

Maybe move that MKV into a temporary share (that doesn't have DLNA enabled), and then scan again - moving off the files that aren't playing into their own folder. Then look for something that they have in common.
