I know it's possible.

I have checked out unrarlib.dll, which can unrar multiple volumes to a memory-stream. It should be possible to implement it. I simply just haven't had time to have a closer look at making a plug-in.

As long as it's possible to feed the playback with a stream from memory.

But as I said... it has only been a brief look.

I can confirm that the "workaround" works, but it would be awesome if someone (Maedhros) could implement it into mediaportal!

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters.

Last time when I installed the...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

hm, weird. it can't access the file because its in use by another process... Wonder what that other one is. Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes? (f.e. defender/antivirus etc, and maybe (don't know if that is even a thing) from creating thumbnails) Edit: and is it always the second time it succeeds...
