video been played instead download .mkv

[chandro]

Hello, how can I change the configuration in the panel web server so that an .mkv video instead of being downloaded, is played online, just like the .mp4 does?

i added this on the web panel config bottom, there is not a lot of options

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType video/x-matroska .mkv
</IfModule>

One possible solution:
Convert the mkv video to mp4 format.

Hello, thanks for you reply.

i think those are in .mkv because the size and quality. i will do some tests to check if it works.

In general, .mkv is not widely supported by browsers. Browsers need additional plugins or a special player on the website to play these videos.
Instead, they will just download the file.

If file size is important, you are better off using WebM.

thanks, i will try with my tv device to see if is running correctly the file. if yes, then no need to view the video online as i asked.

thanks for your response
