I have an MKV I've added an MKA (Dolby TrueHD file) to it; it plays (the sound) perfectly on my VLC, but on my blu ray, it doesn't, it fails to load the audio, doesn't plays it.
How can I do for the DOLBYTRUEHD5.1 audio to be played and recognized by the player and heard perfectly?
I forgot to mention, it's a MKV I play from USB
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

PCM is the only lossless codec the BDP-S5100 will play from USB. (TrueHD can only be played from BD.)
Other than that you can try Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG or AAC. -
I've got a FLAC 5.1 version of the DolbyTrueHD, that might do, since it's loseless?
Thanks for the info. -
What if I turn it to a BDMV file, as in MT2S or something like that? It's kind of blu-ray-ish file, I guess it still wouldn't play it..

My blu-ray player does read in USB DTS-HD MA, though it plays it as a DTS 5.1, and usually sometimes makes the player crack. It plays FLAC audio in the USB MKVs perfectly. And plays VC-1 or MPEG-2.. I'm not sure of the latter as in video, it shoulda.

Then the Manual is out of date, according to it the player should only play FLAC from a .flac file. You'll have to experiment to see what works, and just accept that it won't play every combination, even if you don't get why.

Oh, I know it won't play everything I desire and I'm okay with that. I had to re-code a High10L5 to HighL4.1, but maintains the quality. I just wanted to have the original losless file for the MKV but I guess I'll go perfectly with the FLAC 5.1 of the same encode, which I'm sure will sound more or less as fine as the DolbyTrueHDfile.
You can be sure, out of my own experience, it plays FLAC on a MKV video. It sure played a video I have, and it listened perfectly. Like I said, DTS-HD MA is presented as DTS 5.1 and plays, but sometimes lags heavily (as in freezes the player.) -
which I'm sure will sound more or less as fine as the DolbyTrueHDfile.users currently on my ignore list: deadrats, Stears555

You would want an .m2ts file and you would want probably PCM audio (I don't know a way to encode to Dolby TRUEHD or DTS-HD MA in order for it to play back properly on your BD and BD player.) .mkv and .mka are not in the BD spec so the player won't play them cause it doesn't know what they are.

My recommendation would be to convert the Dolby TrueHD audio to DD 5.1 640 Kbps. Yes, you're taking a step down but it'll be more universally playable.
