I wrote some major new functionality for Matroska handling which will also make future enhancements a lot easier. The current state, which is partially a work in progress, already fixes this and some other problems. So far the changes are in a separate branch. I'll merge it to the master branch later after some further improvements and testing. If you're willing to test the current development branch you can do it as follows: First check out the git repo normally if you don't have it already: "git clone git://repo.or.cz/mplayer-build.git" read README and init the repo You can switch to the development branch by running "git checkout origin/matroska" in the mplayer/ subdirectory. Running the normal 'update' script will switch back to the default code used in the build repo (in addition to doing a normal update of course).
