It took a bit longer than I expected to prepare these builds, partly because of some obscure bugs that took quite some time to track down. Anyway, here it is a brand new release of the VLC UnRAR plugin that carries several bug fixes and optimizations and adds support for the newly released VLC 0.9.2

VLC 0.9.2 compatible binaries are available for

• Windows XP 32-bit (does it work with Vista or XP 64-bit?)
• Mac OS X PPC 10.4 (or higher) *
• Linux 2.6.x (glibc 2.7)
• FreeBSD i386 7.0/8.0

Source code is of course also available if anyone is crazy enough to try to compile this

* Unfortunally there are no Mac OS X Intel binary available simply because I don’t have any way to build it. My cross-compiling attempts failed in some quite spectacular ways, vmware+mac os x failed becuase my windows box don’t have PAE support. So, If anyone can supply me with a shell on a machine with Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel) and Xcode 2.5 installed I’ll do an Intel build.

This guide will show you how to get a RAR Player that plays movies directly from RAR archives without the need to first extract them. We’ll be using Windows in this guide but it works with other operating systems too.

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.
