Plugin: RARFileSource (A rar filter) (2 Viewers)

[GSteele]

Hi,
Same issue here with v 1.3 final.

Is it related to it being an mpei and something like if the 0.5 version isn't flagged as compatible with 1.3 in the package then I think MP disables the plug in.
Has anyone tried modifying the package? I'm not sure how but I'm guessing its do-able as most mp config runs off xml files.

Ok, trying once again.. You won't get this to work with 1.3 as there might have been some changes in MP - at least that was my findings when testing it. So if any developer could look through this code, we might get it to work again.


I updated it to work properly and added support for mp4, BUT there's currently a bug in the code adding/removing the rar extensions from mediaportal.xml.. I couldn't locate that. Perhaps someone could help?

//css_reference "MpeCore.dll";
//css_reference "Utils.dll";
 
using MpeCore.Classes;
using MpeCore;

using MediaPortal.Profile;
 
	public class Script
	{
		public static void Main(PackageClass packageClass, ActionItem actionItem)
		{
					ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
			psi.WorkingDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);
					psi.FileName = "cmd.exe";
			psi.Arguments = "/c regsvr32 /s \"" + MpeInstaller.TransformInRealPath(@"%Base%\RARFileSource.ax") + "\"";		psi.Verb = "runas";
			psi.CreateNoWindow = true;
			psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
			psi.ErrorDialog = false;
			try
			{
				Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi);
				p.WaitForExit(10000);
				addVideoExtension(".rar");
			}
			catch
			{
 
			}
		}
 
		// add the extension
		static bool addVideoExtension(string extension)
		{
				using (MediaPortal.Profile.Settings xmlwriter = new MPSettings())
				{
					  string currValue = xmlwriter.GetValue("movies", "extensions");
					  if(!currValue.ToLower().Contains(extension))
					  {
							  xmlwriter.SetValue("movies", "extensions", currValue + "," + extension);
							  MediaPortal.Profile.Settings.SaveCache();
							  return true;
					  }
				}
			  return false;
		}
	}

			try

				if (File.Exists(rarfilter))
				  File.Delete(rarfilter );
				  removeVideoExtension(".rar");
			}
			catch
			{
			}
		}
 
		// remove the extension
		static bool removeVideoExtension(string extension)
		{
				using (MediaPortal.Profile.Settings xmlwriter = new MPSettings())
				{
					  string currValue = xmlwriter.GetValue("movies", "extensions");
					  if(currValue.ToLower().Contains(extension))
					  {
				  if (MessageBox.Show("Would you like to remove the .rar Extension as a Video Extension?", "Remove Extension", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
						== DialogResult.Yes)
				{
						xmlwriter.SetValue("movies", "extensions", currValue.Replace("," + extension, ""));
									  MediaPortal.Profile.Settings.SaveCache();
									  return true;
					  }
 
					  }
				}
			  return false;
		}

The code is above. Please someone help, so that i can push a fix out.

Changing the video splitter setting fixes the problem:
