MKV Linked Files Support

[td854]

I'd really really appreciate it if VLC could support playing of linked files in MKV files. I don't mean files that are split to fit on media, an example would be an episodic TV show where the ending and opening are stored in separate files to conserve space and called upon for a chapter. I have a lot of media that uses this format and it's supported seemingly only by Haali Media Splitter. VLC right now is pretty much the perfect medium to stream any video in my library to my phone over the web or wifi, and this would make it that much sweeter, right now I have it set to just skip the chapter, but it just feels wrong, plus I honestly like a lot of the openings/closings.

Before posting this, I noticed a number of prior posts that were concerned about this issue, and were looking for a fix, but no posts in the feature request in relation to it, so I thought I would go ahead and do it. I don't know if it will come to fruition but it would sure seal the deal for me.

Thanks.

Yes, this is a big issue, but noone is working on it.
