Hi there,

Many thanks for transfer.sh! I regularly use it to share some files.

Just now I wanted to share a screencast that I had created with simplescreenrecorder on my Linux machine: https://transfer.sh/RzaoH/screencast.mkv

The default format is mkv which currently does not seem to be supported.

Would it be possible to support mkv files?

Thankfully,

Robert

According to http://www.matroska.org/news/webm-matroska.html

webm is a subset of mkv

So what might work is serving *.mkv files with a Content-Type video/webm as suggested in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9622726/html5-video-can-play-mkv-files/29438223#29438223

So maybe after line 165, add:

mime.AddExtensionType(".mkv", "video/webm")
