It plays the same as per mythfrontend. Below is the stdout.
Interestingly it seems to notice the subtitles in the MKV but refuses to use
them.
Giving "-sst 0" (and 1,2,3) did not help.
Pressing 't' (--help says this cycles through subs) did not help.
Obviously the chapters marks are rubbish, since most start at 0, and end
somewhere else.
However I removed the chapter definitions with MKVMergeGUI and it made no
difference in playback.
What is interesting about this file, is VLC somehow finds the opening
credits for the show, whereas
every other video player I tried on it starts immediately after this intro
(with or without the chapter defs.)
Maybe this is something about the chapters?!
cheers,
