Hey guys,
Its been a while i'm trying to play a video file directly from a winrar archive with a http link about MEGA link.
I'm using a program that promise to stream from VLC player, but i can't open the damn file with this video player, with XBMC the better i did has open but only the sound of the video.
I'm using a http link, eg:

http://localhost:54321/streaming?t=1

I need put the path to the file or just the link? Like:

http://localhost:54321/streaming?t=1/file.mp4

Is that i need to do? Some help please!!!
Thanks guys
I love so much this amazing complete player

Neither of those links contain "rar" in them, so what does that have to do with it?

Oh, a developer
First, my congratulations for you guys by create this amazing program.
So, how i can put this "rar" in this links to open the file? And i have to give the path to the video file to xbmc, or i can only put the path to .rar archive?

BUMP!!

For it to play, you need the path to the video file inside the rar (assuming ofcourse that the rar is not compressed - otherwise XBMC will still play it, it'll just take forever as it uncompresses the file first).

The URL format is:

rar://<url_encoded_path_to_rar>/path/in/rar/to/video.avi

Ok, i tried but...

Downloaded a trailer from youtube, added to "transformers.rar" with WinRAR and uploaded to my MEGA's account, and this is the link with the program:

rar://http://localhost:54321/streaming?t=4/transformers.mp4

But this error appears in the moment that i open the .strm file:



Any alternative or solution for this?
Thanks for the help!

Again, there's no .rar file there in the URL.

[Chiitus]

I tried again like you said with:

rar://http://localhost:54321/streaming?t=4/transformers.rar/transformers.mp4

But still the same thing.
XBMC really support video files in rar archives using a http direct link?

[jmarshall]

Again, the path to the rar needs URL encoding.

try

Code:

rar://http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A54321%2Fstreaming%3Ft%3D4%2Ftransformers.rar/transformers.mp4

[Chiitus]

Still same error with URL encoded
Thanks guys, but is really possible open? Or is because the video file type?

[Memphiz]

it is possible ... post a new debug log (wiki) with the path i have given you ...

[Chiitus]

Thanks for the help, you two. I really want appreciate this beautiful utility

1. are you sure that http://localhost:54321/streaming?t=1/transformers.rar can be downloaded from the host where xbmc runs?
2. disable service.playitx not sure if it might influence badly here.
