Kodi unpacks rar multifile files when scanning the library. - n0rd1k - 2020-10-04
Hi! I have some multi file/splitted rar files for several reasons (torrenting, integrity check of movies, etc.). The problem is that when scanning the library, some of them are unpacked, with the consecuent loss of time and space (temporarily). When watching movies is not necessary to unpack them. Is this strictly necessary? Can I change this behaviour? I use VFS.rar in linux (v. 2.3.2-1), kodi 18.8 from kodi official launchpad repository. Thanks in advance.
