[QUOTE="misterd, post: 186679, member: 19503"] Hi Sparky, the main problem is that I need the slave mode of MPlayer. In the slave mode of MPlayer I can send commands to mplayer through the input stream of the process, which I need for controlling MPlayer. AFAIK your RARPlayer uses unrar and sends the output from unrar through a pipeline to a mplayer process. If I would call your RARPlayer I would loose the possibility to control MPlayer, which is essential for the integration in MP, because I have no access to the input stream of the process. I should mention that MPlayer itself can play rar/zip files if they don't have any compression, because it skips the additional rar/zip header. The main problem is that a gapless playback in multi-volume archives is not possible, even if you specify all files of the archive at startup of MPlayer. Also you can't specify a specific file in the archive. This is why I don't add the rar extension to the default configuration files. I'm planning to release a new test version tomorrow. I would prefer a stable release, but I encountered performance problems during the final tests of the OSD library, which have to be solved before the next stable release will be available. :sorry: Therefor I need more test results from other users to solve the problem.
