For first post, please answer the questions below! ### Describe your issue in detail Trying to view mkv and avi files directly via the media player plugin, not working. ### What version of Cells are you using? Latest Docker image ### What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)? Docker on Ubuntu (Mint). ### What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already? Looked to see if I can integrate VLC into Pydio #### Hello, Relatively new to Pydio/cells and I really like the way some media files will just play directly using the media player plugin. I was just wondering is there a way to get any other media players set up as plugins like maybe VLC? There’s still a lot of file types that won’t play directly, for example mkv and many/most avi files. I was just wondering if there’s a way to add support for these maybe via VLC or similar? Thanks, Sheldon ---
