Was thinking about it a long time ago when I first started to use MP, but never had the time to look into this issue.I don't have much experience with MP plugins either, but looked at the code and it shouldn't be that hard to create I can see.I already did some research on this subject back then and I found the Unrar.dll, which is a library published some time back by RarLabs themselves (though a bit unofficially as far as I remember). It has support for extraction using an in-memory buffer and then providing a stream of some sort it should be possible to implement a proper plugin for the purpose of streaming video from a rar-file.I'm currently implementing an MSN plugin for automatically changing the display picture at given (or random) intervals in minutes, hour, days, weeks, or months. I only need to map a GUI setup for this plugin at the moment. So when I finish that, I might find time to experiment with this plugin for MP..... I hope ;-)It definately looks like there is an interest for it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />In the meantime it would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me how to invoke MP's video-player to play data from a memory-stream. I haven't looked into this yet, so if it happens that it has not been implemented, I guess it might still be close enough to the core of MP that it would be faster for at developer with better knowledge of the inner workings to implement such a method <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
