Have a couple of RAR-packs that I have been able to play (without unpacking) using XBMC before, but now when I browse the folder, it looks empty (but it is not, the RARs are there).

What has happened?

Please read stickies on how to post a problem in a useful manner.

Thanks.

6. Detailed Instructions to Reproduce the Problem (The more specific the better.)
Browse to a folder with i.e. a DVD-rip packed into rar-packs. the folder will look empty.

Hope that will do it! (If not, I assume you will let me know)

Let me know if you want a Ticket in TRAC.

I also noticed a lot of problems with rar-ed iso's and rar-ed mkv's!

no. the difference is we now only support sane rarsets, i.e. stored/m0 ones. compressed rars causes tons of issues and is irrelevant for all but crappy "releases" done by kiddies without a clue.

No problems with my rar packed content here so far with Camelot R25996. Everything seems fine.

bottomline i use scene rars, which we always perfect playback and now it chokes xbmc beta2 was still all good. i passed on RC1 .

Did you bother testing to check they weren't compressed?
