[Live-devel] sending and receiving MKV video

We currently do not include support for multiplexing (i.e., receiving and assembling) Matroska (i.e., “.mkv”-format) files.  This is a ‘funded project’, however.  If anyone is interested in providing funding for this project, they can do so here:

When you stream (i.e., transmit) a MKV file using our RTSP server (e.g., the “LIVE555 Media Server”), then the media is sent - via RTP - in separate RTP substreams (i.e., one substream for video; one substream for audio).
