MKV video seeking issues
They stream from my Mac to my Samsung UE40ES6307 tv and play for full duration. I am using a Samsung C/D/E profile.
The problems are as follows
- these files always display a "this file may not be playable properly" warning
- seeking is always disabled
- they always have the wrong total duration displayed on TV. For example, the file detailed below has total video time of 24 minutes (which runs for full duration), but TV video progress bar only shows 31 seconds, fills up to full in 31 seconds time and stays full until the end of the video.
I have applied the steps detailed in header.com section of the wiki, to no avail
An example of problematic file (post-remux) is below
