Seems that the MKV issue is related to HTML5 not supporting it -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2119...eb-browser

That is why we get a download prompt for MKV with passthrough=true+never_stream=true (to force playback of original).  What is interesting is that if you don't use passthrough, it plays back (the MKV files I tested).  That's because when I let the plugin handle the streaming, it passes back the video type of MP4 even though it passes the video in original form (MKV).  Can you also test this?  It might be the case that as long as the audio and video codecs are supported by browser, the container really doesn't factor in just as long as the containers "looks like" MP4.

Also interesting, with passthrough=true+never_stream=true, if I load the plugin through Emby Server, it works.  So either the the Emby Server is intercepting and modify the container type to MP4 (which I don't think it is doing) or it's HTML5 player supports MKV natively which would debunks the HTML5 doesn't support MKV.

The nuts of it, I don't see this being a hurdle.  It will just be a matter of which way to implement the workaround best.    

Great work. I can confirm that the multiple user problem seems to be resolved.
With what kind of browser do you test with ? I tested 3 different ones and had different results.

passthrough=false, never_stream=true
- Pale Moon, Firefox still fail like before.
- Google Chrome on Android works
- MPV ( mediaplayer ) also works

The application pass back the Content-Type: video/x-matroska.
If you wish i can send you a sample of a "nonworking" mkv file, but i think, the only solution for FF and the most other browser will be to use a external application like vlc, mpv etc.
I am not familiar with Emby Server and how i can load the plugin through it, but i will take a look at it.   

 Here is the HTML5 compatibility list:
