VLC cannot play MKV files?

> Ah, not mine AFAIK. The portfile I submitted on Trac *probably* contains a VLC-devel port for 3.0.0-150503-g7385062d (my local copy does), but I don't think I tried building or using that one since May last year (1505).

I could have a stab at compiling it, if you want.

The pre-packaged VLC works fine. It’s definitely something wrong with MacPorts somewhere.

The other reason I prefer to use the compiled VLC is, well, to optimise the code. I suppose compiling with -march=native gives a slightly better code than the standard bundle which must work on every hardware. I am not sure this is really signifiant, though. 

Finally, I can disable much cruft, like the LUA interface, RTP and so on, I don’t need.

Overall, I might be over-cautious. :B
