find command: get files from a start date, with multiple extensions

When I run this command

find /home/pi/Transmission_Downloads/ -type f \( -name "*.mkv" -o -name ".mp4" \) -newermt "2015-12-11"

I was expecting to get a list with four files and their respective paths, but instead I only get a single file and path (mkv extension). If I swap the mkv and mp4 extension in the command, then I only get 3 files and paths (the ones with mp4 extension).

What should I do to get both extensions AND filter by an initial date??

Thanks!

You're missing a wildcard in your -name '.mp4' clause. You probably meant -name '*.mp4'
