To add a expected improvement on the method proposed by Hakuna:
If you have a dedicated HTPC, you can also change his method in such way that when opening a rarfile anywhere (so also in eg. windows explorer) by tweaking the parameters in the standard "open with" settings for rar files.
Then you can add rar to your movie extensions and even use IMDB lookup based on the rar filename.
(this just slipped trough my mind, havent tested it in any way, but if someone is successful, please let us know.)

    it would be nice if MP looked for subtitles inside RAR, just like Zoomplayer, XBMC and many others do.
    subtitles are often 6-20MB , and highly compressible.

    MP1 MP2 1.37 How to use [MP1-5236] - Add support for m3u8 files? DE
    This is for the tvserver, the iptv part. It used to only support m3u files containing all the channels, but now you can use a m3u8 too. Usually you get an m3u8 from your iptv provider, but there are also some that can be found on the internet

    MP1 MP2 Add star rating and favourites to My Pictures DE
    Of course, I think it's not difficult, add fields to the database, and then change everything in the user interface for the rating, and not break anything. I don't have time for this yet, maybe it will appear after the 25th, but that's not certain.
