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 Audio/Music output not stereo. 2.41, 2.5, 1.38.3 DE
    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...

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.3 Export movie cover art from database to individual folder.jpg files? DE
    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    MP1 MP2 Resume for External Players DE
    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)
