From what I searched for, Chrome has the codecs to play MKV videos.
But, so far, I haven't found anything that allows, using Javascript / HTML5, to select the audio tracks available in the MKV and AVI files.
Can anyone give me a light on how to do this?
My idea was to create a web player to play this type of file, with the possibility to select the audio track and display subtitles.
The audioTracks property allows you to do this. However, as stated in the documentation here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/audioTracks
From version 37: this feature is behind the enable-experimental-web-platform-features >preferences (needs to be set to enabled). To change preferences in Chrome, visit >chrome://flags.
I've tried this and it works at least for video elements that have an mkv file as a source.
