RAR5 archive playback

[intheclouds]

Hi,

It doesn't appear to be possible to playback archives compressed using RAR5 format? I don't seem to find much in these forums or elsewhere regarding this - the only post I was able to find said that archives can be used: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... r5#p399933.

Two archives were created using WinRar 5.0.1, all default options except the archive format. The default format (2.9) launched as expected within VLC whilst the later format (5.0) didn't.

The debug log from both outputs has been pasted here: https://pastebin.com/9zjLdj2U, line 49 (2.9 format) seems to show a detection of an archive, whilst around line 600 (5.0), there is no mention of an archive.

Edit: using VLC 3.0.5 (which wasn't available when checking for an update)

Thanks in advance!
