MKV
Simple wrapper around MKVToolNix's mkvinfo utility to get data from MKV movies, and mkvextract to extract subtitles.
Installation
(sudo) gem install mkv
This version is tested against MKVToolNix 5.8.0 build 2012-09-02-6920. So no guarantees with earlier versions.
Usage
Require the gem
require 'rubygems'
require 'mkv'Reading Metadata

By default, streamio assumes that the mkvinfo and mkvextract binaries are available in the default installation paths:
On Mac OSX:
MKV.mkvinfo_binary = "/Applications/Mkvtoolnix.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvinfo"
MKV.mkvextrack_binary = "/Applications/Mkvtoolnix.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract"On Windows: TODO!
