VLC UnRAR plugin release 20080811

Posted by fli in Tech, tags: , , , ,


New release of the VLC UnRAR plugin that turns VLC into a RAR player.

This version have the following new features

  • RAR archived DVD images
  • Automatic installer (windows and unix)

This means that it’s possible to play DVDR movie scene releases directly with VLC without the need to first extract the DVD image.

You can grab the new release from the VLC UnRAR plugin page!

Sorry, there is still no Mac OS X version. There will be one for VLC 0.9.0, which should be released this month or so.

    VLC release for 0.9.0 is targetted this week!

    Why don’t you send your code to us (upstream) ?

    Well, I didn’t think you would be interested based on the responses on your forum and the UnRAR license isn’t exactly compatible with GPL.

    I’m getting DLL errors using your plugin on the latest VLC 0.9.2. Can we expect an update? Thanks!

    Yes, of course. I’ll try to get binaries built this week.

    @ John

    No it’s not possible and I have no immediate plans to implement it either.
    The source code is available in case anyone wants to have a go at it. Password support is already present in libunrar, the “only” thing
    required is a useful interface and then there will probably be problems with seeking.
