Thanks but that was one of my first thoughts. I've tried "cat |
| 20 |
[Matroska-file] > test.fifo & vlc test.fifo". VLC thought it was a DVD |
| 21 |
and could not read it. I also tried telling vlc to use the mkv demuxer |
| 22 |
with "--demux mkv" but then I've got: |
| 23 |
"[00000254] mkv demuxer error: Not a Matroska file : DocType = |
| 24 |
[00000254] mkv demuxer error: cannot find KaxSegment |
| 25 |
[00000247] main input error: no suitable demux module for |
| 26 |
`/mkv://TYFS.mkv'" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I don't think streaming would fare any better if the streaming server |
| 29 |
can't recognize the format, am I right? |
