xayide 0 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Has RAR-archive playback support development started or is it just set a side for the time being?
Luke 42077 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Not enough demand at this time sorry. Go get an army of all your rar archive friends, bring them to our community, and then we'll reconsider.
argit 3 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Where should all of the rar archive friends post? Here or create a new topic each time?
Luke 42077 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 here is fine or any of the other topics created about the issue. i think there's one other with a little longer discussion.
trusselo 225 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 here are 2 plugins/tools posted on this site that does exactly that http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/21714-unarchive-cleanup/ http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/18462-auto-organize-helper/

They don't want to unpack it. Personally wouldn't touch the request but I'm not a developer so that opinion really doesn't cost anyone anything. 1
trusselo 225 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 too bad... though i bet removing a single line of code and some proper folder logic could do the exact, controversial thing they are looking for.
chef 3810 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Well, I looked into it. It's a little above my pay grade... In other words the functions the users want needs to be built into the player/ transcoding engine. Incase anyone else wants to give it a go with their own pull request of the server code on git... It is possible to use some of the libraries in emby (specifically the "sharpcompress" libraries/IZipClient Interfaces in the API) and ffmpeg to do this. I don't think a plugin is going to do this request any justice. sorry guys, but I'm out when it comes to making this happen. Best of luck
Mwuanno 2 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 As I posted in another thread amongst a wall of text - rar playback is a much coveted feature for me. Natively, as the rar2fs method has some drawbacks and kinks. 1
argit 3 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 If plugins exist that will add workarounds for rar-playback i would say the demand exist. But how can we measure demand on a feature? Everyone that wants this feature will not post on this forum.
