  • Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.

    WebM shows that Matroska is excellent for streaming. It’s the same container, WebM just mandates a set of codecs (just as MP4 as an offshoot of MOV can theoretically hold non-MPEG codecs but nobody supports this in the real world). With formal Matroska support, something like combining a HEVC video track with an Opus audio would be possible.














  • Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated in nearly 3 years, which doesn’t bode well for future Android release compatibility.

    Commits to the Github repository keep going but the developer doesn’t seem to realize the importance of more regular but smaller in scope releases which attracts users and more users mean more contributors.
