The problem is only that built in media player (ugh) can't play raw streams from avi, i created a rar plugin a couple days ago (used the skeleton from the rar plugin by and-81 ). It will unrar with the help of unrar.dll (for now) in a seperate thread and after x chunks of data it will launch mplayer , after mplayer is done the file is deleted. It only plays the first avi|mkv|ts|mpg so far. If someone wants to try it out you can download a rar from http://www.psyksjuk.com/rarplayer.rar

NOTE: the remote control wont work as intended with the shipped mplayer config.

0.download http://www.psyksjuk.com/rarplayer.rar
1. place those 2 files in plugins\externalplayers\
2. download http://www7.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/MPlayer-mingw32-1.0rc1.zip
3. extract mplayer to c:\mplayer, you can change that in the config but make sure the mplayer.exe's path is c:\mplayer\mplayer.exe
4. add .rar to media portal movies-> movies extension
(4.5 make sure the rar plugin is visible under external players)
5. play a rar file and the first movie file will be played

[QUOTE="snorkis, post: 193768, member: 55813"] The problem is only that built in media player (ugh) can't play raw streams from avi, i created a rar plugin a couple days ago (used the skeleton from the rar plugin by and-81 ). It will unrar with the help of unrar.dll (for now) in a seperate thread and after x chunks of data it will launch mplayer , after mplayer is done the file is deleted.
