RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - spiff - 2018-01-25
yes, i can reproduce.
it works with the new rar naming scheme, but somehow libarchive screws up with the old. it will take some deep debugging to figure out the why and i don't have the time right now.

Is there any chance the nightlys will include the old librar.vfs again? dunnow why it's removed but under Android is nearly impossible to add on my own due APK signature... :/

vfs.rar isn't removed in nightlies, but currently it fails to build for android.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - dan3o3 - 2018-01-26
Thanks for your information. Anyone able to tell if this will be corrected by changes to other program parts or does that need changes to the addon code?
In the second case I guess nobody will do that since libarchive is it's successsor...
I'll just keep fingers crossed, love to use the progress in the dailys like I use the DRM support daily already for Netflix & Amazon.
Thanks,
Dan

damn, this was unexpected. i eventually tracked it down to a bug in the file cache, https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13488
old style, new style from local or from sftp now works fine for me. your mileage may still vary of course.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - Rechi - 2018-02-07
vfs.rar is included again android nigthlies.
The fix was easier then I initially thought.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - QLink - 2018-05-26
i still have exact the same problem on the latest v18 nightly and the nightlies before. i use nvidia shield 2017 hardware.
It works fine when trying to play the same movie on my windows 10 laptop on latest v18 nightly.
It works fine when trying to play the same movie on nvidia shield with latest SPMC release.
It only plays audio, but no video when trying to play the same movie on latest v18 nightly on nvidia shield.
any suggestions how i can fix this ?
thanks in advance

It is my experience with Beta 4 both on Windows and on my Nvidia Shield that multiple rar support still does not work. I have enabled the rar vfs plugin, and after doing that the shows I have stored in this format are scraped properly and show up in my library. However, any attempt to play them results in a "This file is no longer available". Manually navigating to my files in kodi reveals the video file, as if it can see it just fine, but they cannot be played, and it just pops me back with no error message.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - spiff - 2018-10-26
works for me, using both vfs.rar and vfs.libarchive. need more loggery.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - menace - 2018-10-26
Loggery: https://paste.kodi.tv/etuxafafoh.kodi
Edit: It's perhaps pertinent to mention that I *can* play these files with e.g. mpv just fine over the same connection (SMB) to the share, from the same machine. So, the files are reachable, I can play them with other software, I can also play uncompressed video just fine over the same connection. It's multi-volume rar from Kodi exclusively that's the issue as far as I can tell.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - spiff - 2018-10-26
hmm i think i know what's up.
can you please check your vfs.rar addon.xml and see if it has 'encodedhostname="true"' in it ?

RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - spiff - 2018-10-26
yes, just want confirmation it's all there is to it.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - menace - 2018-10-26
It does not.
For the record, this is the file as it came with my beta 4: https://paste.kodi.tv/agotetexus.kodi - I have made no attempts to modify or screw around with it.
RE: Multi RAR support no longer works - spiff - 2018-10-26
i know, i know. bear with me.
please add it, so it looks like
Code:
...
directories="true"
filedirectories="true"
encodedhostname="true"
...
