Hello again
Finally got a chance to try it out.
I navigate to the .rar file in XBMC, press enter to open it and see the .avi as usual. Then, clicking enter again launches Zoom Player, and I get this error message from RARFileSource according to message box title:
(Translated: "Overlapping I/O operation in progress")
Dismissing this messagebox yields the following error from Zoom Player:
"Unable to play [burn.notice.s03e08.hdtv.xvid-xii.rar]
This may be due to a corrupt file, missing filters, filter conflicts, or hardware related issues."
Playing the .avi in the internal DVDPlayer works fine, like before.
So, apparently XBMC is passing the .rar to the external player, which is good, but there seems te a lock of some sort on the archive that prevents RARFileSource from accessing it properly. Perhaps you need to "back out" of the archive, before launching the external player?
BTW: I tried right-clicking the rar file in the xbmc file explorer to try to avoid opening the archive, and got the same results.
Let me know if you need log files, or want me to test a new build etc.
Thanks so far
Tusse.
