I still think the relevant add-on should be enabled by default after the transition and there shouldn't another, similar, conflicting one available.(2019-02-02, 15:23)nevernow Wrote: I have to wonder why this had to be done.See it as a building bucket. Not everyone with Kodi uses RAR'd content (which is ludicrous anyway unless you're a newsgroup fanboy), add-ons are also easier to fix and upgrade instead of one big application blob, and the main Kodi application becomes leaner.
Now speaking of my case (and yes, I am a newsgroup fanboy ), after the upgrade to Leia RC all my RAR'd content was gone from the library, because the respective directories appeared empty to the now-non-RAR-aware scraper. After enabling the RAR VFS add-on, new RAR'd content is correctly scraped and added to the library, but all previously existing content (all that was "lost in transition") is skipped due to no change. Is there a way to bring it all back without going into each directory and changing something to trigger the scraper? Thanks!
Edit: I managed to trigger a full scan by disabling fasthash, but I still consider the whole situation less than ideal, especially with the RAR add-on being disabled by default.
