looking at www.unrarlib.org it cleary state that unrarlib only support winrar 2.x compressed files (so not winrar 3.0 or later) = it's old.
in any case it does not look like damien7579 going to finish his port(?) or even post code-to-date(?) so maybe someone can take over?

what i personally would like to see is all this built into the ccxstream server (or equivalent). ie, do all the hard work at the server side and make it all transparent to xbmc.

but as someone else earlier in the thread noticed, rarlib doesn't support v3 files which makes it a hassle. i guess one could make a unrar frontend builinto ccxstream, but i have a feeling it wouldn't be very pretty, but i guess it would work.
