Problem playing .rar files

Postby Nille » 20 Jul 2011 03:37

I found some problems playing unpacked multi-rar files.
I got this multi-rar archived .img file and i can unpack it and it works.
I can also play any of the .rxx and it plays whats in that file.
But what doesn't work is opening the .rar so it plays the hole movie.
It does however work in windows, i tried both vlc-1.1.10 and 1.1.11.
This error seems to be an linux regression since it works in windows.
As the problem i had with .img viewtopic.php?p=305428#p305428
it also shows the movie to be 40 hours long (40:30:31) instead of real 1:24:19.
Made an paste bin from 'vlc -vv test.rar > vlc.rar.log 2>&1' http://pastebin.com/cnZ7Ev48

I grabbed the nighly trunk tarball but it wouldn't build.
Seems like the tarballs are missing modules/control/dbus/dbus_introspect.h
After i added dbus_introspect.h it did build.

I then tried to run vlc but it wouldn't run.
vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libvlccore.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Why does it ask for libvlccore.so.4 when 1.2.0 uses libvlccore.so.5
After "ln -sf /usr/lib64/libvlccore.so.5.0.0 /usr/lib64/libvlccore.so.4" it did start.

But could i play test.rar ?
No it didn't work and i didn't even see any time or anything.

So at this point 1.2.0 didn't help.

I could play the .img and .rxx as i could in 1.1.11

I saw that dbus_introspect.h is included in the nightlies now :)
I will compile it again tonight.
Thanks for adding it.
