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.

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.
