RAR Files Picked Up As Media

[bertbert72 14]

Since the last update to 3.0.5445.6 MediaBrowser seems to be picking up RAR files during movie scanning and creating entries for them.  For example in the attached logs:

So it adds the movie as normal but also adds the RAR file containing subtitles.

Yes this is a new "feature" to cater for people who source their media from dubious sources

sure, but why store subtitles in .rars Is that not an equally valid question?

 

(not saying i store my media in .rar since I always use .mkv with muxed in subs but someone has to play the devils advocate )

I believe Luke mentioned there may be an option in the future to turn this off for people like me who do not like it.  I started to rip my music cds to flac and saving any data portions in rar files and now I have a bunch of what MB thinks is new songs.

Ah ok.  Bizarre request IMO but each to their own...  Hadn't spotted the original discussion.  Obviously for subtitles I can just expand them but it's going to be more awkward for people storing other metadata along with their media.
