Anybody want to pick this up?
There is a new version 0.8.3 http://matroska.org/downloads/mkclean.html
Actually I've found that this application doesn't do anything at all. It was supposed to fix bad MKV files (header compression), but that didn't happen so I just started using plain mkvmerge for this. SO I will close close the bug.
Well, I suppose how you use it. I have found numerous files and made numerous files with mkvmerge from mkvtoolinx which will not work on my stand-alone Samsund BluRay player. Running this will fix them in most cases: # mkclean --remux --no-optimize broken_file.mkv fixed_file.mkv --remux is just as important as --no-optimize. Of course, if there are other problems with the content of audio or video streams, then mkclean won't help you.
(In reply to comment #5) > Running this will fix them in most cases: # mkclean --remux --no-optimize > broken_file.mkv fixed_file.mkv I ended up with this simple command. It remuxes the file without the "broken" compression flag, which is quite enough for the file to be playable on my wdtv. mkvmerge --compression "-1:none" "$f.broken" -o "$f"

However, it does not work for all files on my standa-alone. Running the same file I got from mkvmerge in mkclean makes them playable AND seekable. mkvmerge'd files sometimes play, but thet are never seekable. This is also fixed with mkclean for me. I do agree that it is a fault in the player,.. but it is unlikely to be fixed soon.
