Matroska video mime?

[jkwarras]

Hi,

I'm setting up a download zone with matroska video for my project, but the server doesn't recognise the extension *.mkv. I talked with the Tech department and they told me that all they need is the mime type of a mkv file, but they didn't find it on matroska.org (me either). I search in this forum and on google but didn't find it. Can anyone from the matroska team tell me what si the mime of a mkv file?

Regards

There isn't a standard MIME type for Matroska but I believe that you could use something like application/matroska, application/x-mkv, video/matroska or video/x-matroska

Thanks a lot for the info :)

You want to use video/x-matroska for MKV and audio/x-matroska for MKA. This really needs to be added somewhere to the website.
