Thanks but that was one of my first thoughts. I've tried "cat [Matroska-file] > test.fifo & vlc test.fifo". VLC thought it was a DVD and could not read it. I also tried telling vlc to use the mkv demuxer with "--demux mkv" but then I've got: "[00000254] mkv demuxer error: Not a Matroska file : DocType = [00000254] mkv demuxer error: cannot find KaxSegment [00000247] main input error: no suitable demux module for `/mkv://TYFS.mkv'" I don't think streaming would fare any better if the streaming server can't recognize the format, am I right?
