If you add such a playlist in mmg you can let mmg scan the whole directory for other playlists. You can add them just like any other file and mkvmerge will use the files the playlist references instead. It's one main new feature is support for Blu-ray playlists (MPLS files).

They're not that difficult to implement, but I guess hardware vendors will still drag their heels and only support stuff that's newer than 12 months. If you want to know what options such a player vendor has then just read the the possible solutions I've outlined for VLC (). And this is so fundamentally broken on the player's side that I will not waste my time dumbing a spec-compliant program down to the lowest common denominator. I don't cater to broken hardware implementations most of the time.

So will I do anything about it? No frellin' way. They're very, very often very lazy though.

But MP4 support in hardware devices is a lot better as they actually follow that rule ('ignore what you don't know').īig money is not always right. Technically there's not much of a difference between the two situations from the player's point of view. It's also a format that can evolve over time and that requires players to skip elements the player doesn't know about. Basically they don't support Matroska - even though they claim they do.

Those players don't follow that they just stop parsing, or crash, or whatever. One of Matroska's core concepts is 'if you don't support that element then just ignore it'. The hardware devices do not support the latest elements (which is understandable), but they also don't support one of the most basic principles of what makes Matroska Matroska: extensibility. It's bad implementations in the hardware devices.
