Overview

Plays MKV files natively in Plex Web: direct play, in-player audio track switching, and libass subtitle rendering.

For environments where you cannot, or do not wish to, use the Plex desktop app, this extension allows playback of MKV files and ASS/SSA subtitles directly in the browser. On Linux, it may be required to manually enable certain browser features to enable HEVC playback. On Chromium browsers, to enable direct play with non-default auto tracks, use this feature flag: `--enable-blink-features=AudioVideoTracks
