[QUOTE="FreQi, post: 155326, member: 52235"] Streaming out of [I]compressed[/I] rar's is not really the goal... Streaming out of rar files that have been created in "store" mode is what we're looking for. It is the job of the a/v codec to compress the data. RAR is basically just being used as a fancy file splitter that breaks the files into chunks and wraps them up into the rar "container". Personally, I am dying for MP to be able to do this as it would greatly ease my transition from XBMC by not forcing me to rework my video archive. And on a side note, the source code for reading from or decompressing rar's is available from RAR's creator as freeware ([URL="http://rarlabs.com/rar_add.htm"]here[/URL], [URL="http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-3.7.6.tar.gz"]download[/URL]). There is even a [URL="http://www.rarlab.com/rar/UnRARDLL.exe"]pre-compiled .dll[/URL] if that makes things easier... [/QUOTE]
