XBMC: Play rar'ed file with json string

[Phalnax]

Hi.

I have a issue that I wonder if anyone can help me with.

I use EventGhost to play files on my xbmc.
It works just fine with unpacked files using the following
urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.220:8080/jsonrpc?reque ... em":{"file":" "filelocation+filename "}}}')

Does anyone know how to get the file started when files are rar'ed?
I use mysql to get the file location and filename

Best regards Phalnax.

As you are using the XBMC JSON-RPC api directly, and not using my XBMC2 plugin, I would recommend to ask this in the XBMC JSON-RPC forum. As they know how stuff works with XBMC.

One idea is to treat the RAR as a directory.

But anyway I might look into this, as I have not tried to open a RARed files before. But I don't know when so it will probably be faster in the XBMC forum.
