Playback of .mkv files with Panasonic TV usin UPnP

[hans.kristian.sundt@…]

Recently bought a P50UT50Y panasonic plasma TV.

UPnP works excellent and plays back recorded tv and videos except mkv files. The TV supports mkv file. Tested playback with file on an sd card. Suspect that it is related to 8643 where the mime type for mkv files has been changed.

Unfortunately I am not capable of compiling myth and changing the code my self to check it.

Running Fedora with Myth installed from the repository.

Is it possible to change the mimetype without having to compile?

This assumption is correct. If the mime type for mkv video files is changed back to what it was prior to 0.24 then the ability to play these files via UPNP is restored - in the case of my Panasonic DT30 at the very least.

Revert Matroska MIME to 'video/x-matroska'.

If different clients are expecting different MIME times, the only
sensible solution is to use the one dictated by Matroska.
