Hi new here.

It should work with rar files. Not sure how well tested the feature is on Android, or how well the weaker CPUs do it.


RE: Rar files - strix75 - 2013-04-24

I can not get it to work. I´m using a MK808B Rochip RK 3066, CORTEX-A9,1.6GHZ with android 4.2.2

Is this supported??

I remember it wasn't enabled in the early development. Perhaps it hasn't been enabled since. Not sure if there is a technical reason (like the library doesn't work on arm) or if its just forgotten (or enabled but there is a bug regarding it).

OK thank you for your answer, I hope someone can clear things up. If it´s enabled or not.
