thk you

I know this set, but not work.

moderator/?sk=add-video

try to add site.com/video.mkv
Seems that link it's not valid or link is wrong

[neospider69]

those settings are for upload.

You CANNOT add external videos in other formats, as they will not be processed and will not play.

U need to download those videos from source and upload to your site

[AlexH]

.mkv play on VideoJS player or any other html5 player.

[neospider69]

wrong, they will play mkv if it's encoded with h264 codec..

anyway, i'm not a coder, so i cannot help more on this issue

Long shot for mkv to be web playable. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16940520/how-to-play-mkv-files-using-html5-video-tag
