[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 159929, member: 10858"] I-loop is right, if MediaPortal wanted to support playing movie files directly inside the RAR (or any other archive format) someone would need to write a directshow source filter to handle the archives. Not a small task. I feel (and some other devs might agree also) that it's people that are just too damn lazy. Why I (or some other dev) should be spending hundreds of hours in writing a directshow filter that is mainly targeted to help lazy people that are playing pirated stuff (and don't tell me its something else, if someone is so stupid that archives his own avi / mpeg / qt etc files in RARs let him suffer.) I just don't see any point in spending much of valuable free time in creating a such a directshow filter to save couple of minutes of "scene" people's free time. :growl: ...and sorry if I did hurt someones feelings, but being lazy and demanding something like this makes me just angry.
