yeah this is a bug that is not fixable at the current point in time, click no.

The reason this happens is VLC expects a file which it can access the index of (its at the end of the file) and my program streams video data sequentially into VLC.

I have tried VLCRAAR in Windows to play avi-files inside multiple rar-files and it seems to work! That's great, but it seems that I can't get subtitles like .sub and .srt to work when I play from rar-files. Has anybody managed to get subtitles to work or is this something that's being worked on to ...

@DJ It works in the mplayer code used in XBMC so it can be done, too bad those lazy bums dont backport it :P I would guess they always locate the index first and if you want to skip it jumps to the correct rar-file and streams it. @sparks I tried getting that "--file-caching" switch to wo...

Re: more of a buffer than a cache..

VLC does include the "cache" feature in the settings/input/acces module/file preferences.. but as DJK already stated.. when playing files, VLC takes the specified amount of time to cache the file before actually starting playback.. i.e. if i have a 30 sec cache.. i have to wait 30 secs b4...

In my experiments anything under 1000ms worth of cache has lag.

The ideal level was at around 1500 but I used 2000ms just to be sure.

Although I am aware your post was not a question, but a statement.

Glad you like it, if you can program please help me tidy it up :) I would like the few lines of code I made into a simple program, being added into VLC (although I am aware Java is not the same thing as C++) All it really needs is something along these lines: if file = .rar { if unrar.exe exists { u...

Well I found the fix to enable this to work with VLC Media Player! 1. Download UNRAR here: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarw32.exe and extract into your VLC Directory. 2. Download VLCRAAR here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167742 and extract into your VLC Directory. 3. Drag a...

Yes you can use the more frequently updated default mplayer binaries with that batch file. I also updated my RARPlayer and it can now support associations with your RAR files. Still I cannot fix the stuttering with VLC. Note to developers: Is there someway to allow VLC to not stutter when receiving ...

Well...... I went away determined to make playing video files easier. I needed to learn programming to do this.....so I went to what I thought would be the easiest.....Java. I have created a Java based executable that plays rar files, it needs to be in the same directory as MPlayer with UNRAR.exe. R...
