Has anyone else gotten the video to start as fullscreen? I have the latest dll and it still starts as a thumbnail. Thanks all!

Hi mani here

Thinking about the RAR streamers;

Having this in MP would be nice as

-Nice interface
-Remote works

RAR streaming does work in VLC but no skip forwarding etc by 1 min etc

would like skip forwarding in RAR streaming in MP

Jackjson does you plugin support skipping????

Just to confirm I can stream (rar,r001) files and also be able to skip/seek forward like 30 seconds and 2 minutes forward?


Im having trouble starting your plugin

I have done these steps:

"First of all, you need to download and install ImDisk


- Copy "RarMount2.exe" and "ntfs.bin" to [..]\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\
- Copy "RarPlayer.dll" to [..]\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\ExternalPlayers\ (Latest Version)
- Add .rar to known extensions list in Media Portal config. (Movie Extension)

Then I go into MP config and check if plugin is enabled


Then i go into control panel image tool to mount rar file - (files are .rar .r00 .r01 etc)

In Windows Explorer M drive open:
When i choose mount default (Disk Drive) i get the error "please format disc"
When its DVD mount then i get "cannot read disk"

When i mount it with Winmount I can see the file in windows explorer but cannot play it normally with vlc or windows media classic.

I run MP and its in windowed mode but no plugin icon shows up like the one for MDAPI
I cannot see a new menu option in home screen
I go into DVD - says no DVD inserted
I go into My Video - M is there but on click freezes for 1 minute
On repetition of trying sometimes M is not there and sometimes there even if it is not mounted but does not play file at all in MP

How do i stream the files?????

Thanks Mani

What version of MP are you usung?
I've only tested with MP v. 0.2.3.0.

The plugin is still in beta stage (maybe even alpha?) and my spare time is quite limited.
Don't expect any big updates soon (unless someone else contributes, you've got the source code).

Im using 0.2.3

I can get jumping forward in Dziobas Rar Player with 1st and last part of file downloaded, would take minimum 15mins to start stream on external way from MP.

But i would like to get it to work in MP,

I can respond quicky if u want to reply

Jackjson, I found a bug I think, i tried to open a .avi that was rar'ed as *part01.rar *part02.rar and so on, it didnt work that good. Its not that big of a problem but i will let u know.

I've fixed this bug, along with some others.
Both RarMount2.exe and RarPlayer.dll are updated.

This version works well with MP 1.0.0.0 RC1.

jackjson thanks so much for continuing to work on this. It now fixes all the issues I had before. It starts out maximized. As long as you have your MP running on top you cant see the cmd window. You can now start another rar set to play without stopping the previous. VERY NICE! Much appreciated for the time you have put into this!

I'm glad you like it :)
I will soon add support for subs using VobSub and hopefully add some nice loading dialogs to the plugin.
