Is it possible to play a multipart rar video from http? I thought I had seen some discussion on this in the past but can't seem to find it.
I tried using a PlayList() with Player().play() but that didn't work.

yes, any protocols are supported as such. but you're not playing the damn rar files, you're playing the file *INSIDE* the rar files. url is of the form
rar://<urlencodedpathtoarchive>/<pathinarchive>

Thanks spiff. I should have said I understood that. I found the discussion which was about NZB Streamer. I took some of the code from that project but it seems to try and download the whole archive before it starts playing. I'm gonna keep playing with it.
