So starting yesterday I believe, I stopped having an ability to open .rar archives. I rar my collection into rars so I can store them on fat32 volumes so it now became useless.

When opening a folder with *.rar files I get this:

18:27:13 T:140316835948416 WARNING: Create - Unsupported protocol(rar) in rar://smb blah blah .rar

Using this PPA with Ubuntu 12.04

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu precise main


Is this a known bug? I did find a few articles regarding but those were fixed by compiling from source.

Any thoughts? Thank you guys.

no debug log (wiki), no soup

Ok. It is Ubuntu 12.04 and xbmc from the ppa. They disabled non-free when compiled it (so you don't get rar support). So if you want to use xbmc and 12.04 - don't do it. Stick to xbmcbuntu 11 or 10.04 lts

Thanks.

Ah, I see. Will have to note this on the wiki Linux FAQ for when that finally gets updated.

Wouldn't compiling from source solve this, too?

There's no precise package xbmc available at the moment:

its in the official ubuntu repo(copied from debian)

Still no xbmc for precise?

That is just silly.

Eden: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-stable
Nightlies: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-nightly

That's not the official team xbmc's ppa

Eden: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-stable
Nightlies: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-nightly

^ these repo's did the trick. Do not use team xbmc ppa for precise. Use the repo above.

Could you make a small guide for the newbe´s ?

Thanks, I so miss rar support

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc -y

Enjoy.

Tried installing based on above on 12.04 but ran into issues below any ideas how to fix
