Hi all,

just noticed this since yesterday that I cannot longer play files out of multiple (scene) rar files. Suddenly files I could play before simply won't start anymore. When I click the rar, it still sees the video inside, but it won't launch when I click it. Unpacked files play with no trouble at all.

I update every day, is it to be expected that this happens? Otherwise, I thought XBMC does not depend on unrar being installed on the system right? I thought the rar support was built in but of course I could be wrong, I have unrar installed on my system but it made no difference. Anyone else got this problem?

I confirm i just noticed this issue as well. I had just upgraded to latest svn this morning.

so I have to ask is it actually trying to play rar://smb***** or did you remove the file name

Hey I wasn't going to point any fingers. We all had it pinned on malloc64.

Yeah, I saw he was relieved that it wasn't him.
