As I wrote earlier, SmbRAR is my latest project, aiming to be a Smaba/SMB/CIFS/Windows share (lots of names for the same thing) server. When the server finds an uncompressed RAR archive it will present it as a folder to the SMB client. This way you can share your folders with RAR files, and mount them on tour local computer, over the network (or even over the Internet), and enable RAR streaming to all sorts of clients. I, for example, want to be able to play movies in RAR archives on my Xbox360 without uncompressing them first.
There will not be any file size or file count limits in SmbRAR, but the server will (still) NOT be able to handle compressed archives.

The suggested solution for the subtitle problem is very good. I've been thinking of modifying the MP plugin (RarPlayer.dll) to copy any detected subtitle file to a specified directory, and rename it to UNPACKED.srt (to match the mounted file in M. Unfortunately I haven't really got to it yet.
Maybe I can add the subtitle support during this weekend, it shouldn't take much time.
