Mplayer Matroska Format

Hello,

I've got some video in the Matroska format. As far as I can tell this is handled by libmatroska (go fig). So I've emerged it and the Matroska file format tools. However mplayer still does not recognize the file (it calls it Tivo format, which may be correct, but it exits shortly after saying there is no sound stream, even though mkvinfo says there is one there.) Anyhow, has anyone gotten Matroska to work with Mplayer?

Regards,
Remillard

Are you sure you've emerge mplayer with the matroska USE flag?

Nope, didn't even know there was a matroska USE flag :-)

Thanks much. I've recompiled with that and things are working smoothly.
