This plugin uses WinMount (WinMount - Mount rar, zip, iso files quickly) to mount and play compressed archives without extracting them. The plugin is still in testing stage so don’t expect it to work perfect.
Features:
• Plays compressed .rar files.
• Supports splitted archives (.rar, .r00, .r01...)
Install instructions:
• Extract WinMountPluggin.dll to %programfiles%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\ExternalPlayers.
• Install WinMount, I’ve used the trial version of v3.1.1201 while developing the plugin.
• UPDATE: Open WinMount options and uncheck "Open the new mounted disk" to solve the first issue described below.
• Start MediaPortal Configuration, go to Plugins->WinMount->Config and select which drive to use and the path to Winmount3.exe.
• Add .rar and .000 as file extensions under Videos->Video Extensions in MediaPortal Configuration.
Notice about WinMount:
Make sure the alternative “Options -> View -> Mount” is available in WinMount. If it’s not there the application did not install correctly or you did not restart your computer after installing it. I’ve had quite some trouble getting WinMount to work correctly on my system, so I’d recommend that you try it for at least a few days before you decide to buy it. I’ve also encountered a few BSODs while developing this plugin, probably caused by WinMounts driver or some other driver colliding with WinMount. I did warn you
Known issues:
• The first archive which is mounted will cause a Windows Explorer window to pop up as well as the trial “nag screen”. The plugin will mount a dummy archive which you can keep mounted to avoid this issue. (UPDATE: See updated install instructions to avoid the explorer window.)
• Due to the previous mentioned issue all archives will be mounted to the same drive, but I haven’t found a way to unmount all archives except the dummy. So you have to manually dismount the archives from the WinMount GUI to release the file lock. UPDATE: This functionallity is now on WinMounts todo-list. Hopefully there will be a fix available soon.
Compability:
This plugin should work with “Moving Pictures” and “MP-TV Series”. I’d recommend to replace the first regular expression in "MP-TV Series" with the following, which is modified to remove the subs folder and all “*.part**.rar” except the first one.
