I have some mkv files with multi video tracks, some with normal and 3D tracks, others with multi angles, so that way i don't have duplicates on Kodi library. But seems like Kodi doesn't support multi video streams yet, while other desktops players (MPC-HC, Potplayer, VLC) supports it.

Do you mean multiple videos in a Matroska MKV container with "Segment Linking" also known as "Ordered Chapters"?

If so then see existing feature suggestion here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=55764

I assume this is the same thing in the Matroska container specification which you are asking for.

Not exactly, I'm actually talking about multiple video files in a Matroska container, much like dual audio files, "dual video", without any linking or chapter. That's the composition of one of the MKV files:

- MPEG-4p10/AVC/h. 264 (ID0/Video) 2D
- MPEG-4p10/AVC/h. 264 (ID1/Video) 3D
- AAC (ID2/Audio) English
- AAC (ID3/Audio) Portuguese

So, I can switch between these 2 audios on Kodi, but I can't find how to switch the video stream.
Seems like the link you posted is about an MKV file linking with another 2, the opening and the ending.

Are you really sure what you describe is not the same as one of the available segment linking types in the Matroska specification?

http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html

Regardless, what you ask for have to be in the official Matroska specification somewhere as otherwise it's an unofficial feature. And I highly doubt that any FFmpeg, Libav, or Kodi devs would add an unofficial feature which is not in the Matroska specification. So it would probably help if you could point where what you describe is located in the official Matroska specification.

You are also much more likely to see whatever you want in Kodi if it is already available in FFmpeg or Libav first, so ask them too.

+1 I actually never seen a movie that has multiple angles but I've seen the option to choose in VVLC and MPC-HC
it would be nice if Kodi also have this

Very awesome!

Cool, so does that mean that the ability to switch between video tracks has been merged into the code base? If so, what version can we expect this to pop up in?

**Ace** · (This post was last modified: 2016-01-17, 00:01 by Ace.)

Krypton Alpha 1.

EDIT: It's already in the nightly builds of krypton.

great, thanks!

Are there 1-2 screenshots how it'll look? Especially how the video track name is displayed if there is only one track. Is the video track name visible from now on? Even if there is only 1 video track? Thanks.

Yes.

This is a mkv file with languages and names set for the two video streams

This is a dvd with multiple angles (multi angles isn't fully supported yet)

Any chance we can get an action ID for this, like "nextvideotrack"? Similar to how we have "AudioNextLanguage".

+1 for toggle "nextvideotrack"
