I would like to req a feature. Unrar support like in XBMC. In XBMC you can just select a .rar file and access the media-file contained and play it away. Would this be possible in Media Portal too?

What would be the purpose of this?
I agree. This feature would be great.
Even integrating an unrar function rather then just reading what's in the rar files would be quite nice. Not sure how hard it would be to integrate that, but it would definitely be a welcomed feature.

Well, to throw in my own 2 cents, this is something I would never use. If anything, it should be a plugin so as not to bloat MP with features that not everyone would use.
A plug-in would absolutely suffice. You're right about adding bloat to MP. Maybe someone's up to working on a plug-in for this?

Yeah, a plugin would do the trick. I'm sorry if I asked in the wrong forum, but as you see, I'm pretty new at Mediaportal.
Downloaded TV-shows seems to come packed in rar-files most of the time and for shows your not keeping (read my fiance's favorite Gilmore Girls), it is just a waste of time unraring them. Maybe there are some clues in the XBMC source...

This is the source-code for unrar which XBMC built the unrar support from.

There seems to be some references to http://www.unrarlib.org/ also... A free unrar library.

I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try.
But I can't give any guarantees.

Hi,
First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with.
If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected.
For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos.
I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...
