Correct support zip.wv files
#1
When i can play a zip.wv, xbmc don't recognize that as a real zip archives and play it as soon a only unique file.

I suppose that the .wv estension are interpretated as wavepack file, but not an archives exactly as .rar

Is possible correct them?

Sorry for my bad english.

Its probably better for you to just fix your file extensions rather then hack XBMC.

Have you any suggestion to apply this "feature" editing an appropriate xml file?

request all you want. we won't support this, this is madness. the convention on all computers except the amiga has been that the last part is the file type. you have wavpack'd the file, THEN zipped it. compare to e.g. .tar.gz

Processing a rar archives with any type of music file is different to processing a zip.wv file containing a wavpack file?

This way to archive music in zip.wv are used with more frequency. We are sure don't want support it?

PS. The extension is simply a best practice to mark a file, but the header file is the real file type.

If i delete .wv extension, the file is recognized like a regolar zip file with audio cd.
Will work perfectly without change type of file

Why do you name stuff with the .wv suffix if they are .zip files?

Is a particularity of wavepack, in practise if U open a zip.wv with foobar2000 you can listen music without unpak the archive. Removing the .wv estension, XBMC consider it as rar (or zip in this case) file and do exactly one I want! Cool
