I was just wondering if XBMC supports MKV's that have order chapters to account for Seemless Branching in Blurays using MakeMKV? to allow both the Theatrical and Extended Editions to exist in one file and the Extended is just the Theatrical with special chapters linking it to play the extended bits the right time.

I don't know weather xbmc supports it, but that sounds pretty cool. Never knew you could do that!
Do you have any examples of commercial Blurays that use seamless branching? Does MakeMKV detect and translate this feature correctly? I wonder if it's possible to arrange this yourself using two or more different releases combined into one? Some examples where this could be useful that come to mind are Lord Of The Rings, and Avatar. Both of these have at least two versions out there, and it would be great to be able to select between them without having to store several copies of each movie.

I remember a conversation in another thread a week ago or so where they were discussing this. From what I can recall, at this point XBMC has no support for this, and I don't remember if it was planned or not.

Take a look at the ffmpeg mailing list when said patches are submitted.

It's possible to have two versions of a movie in a single MKV file. It's becoming more common this method. Are the XBMC developers considering to support this soon?
