VLC RAR-Loader Troubleshooting ReportCannot prefill buffer - Version: 1.3, 4/6/2008 12:07PM PST

Samus Aran
Since upgrading from version 1.2, I haven't been able to get RAR-Loader to work. VLC responds with 'main: cannot pre fill buffer'. I have VLC version 0.8.6f.

It's too bad 1.3 isn't working for me, because it loads so much more quickly.

I could not get droplet launching to work (drag a rar segment to the RAR-Loader icon in the dock). If I launch RAR-Loader and open a rar segment then I am fine. Once playing video, I can't scrub to another portion of the video. The VLC controller seems to be limited to pause toggle only. Playlist functionality is also missing. Thus, I can't load a "2-CD" video for seamless playback.

Summary: RARs are obsolete. High-speed internet means no need to split files for download. Video compression (AVI, MPEG, etc.) means no benefit from further compression. This add-on eliminates a bit of the pointless un-raring, but is still beta quality. Marginal thumbs up.

I'm running VLC 0.8.2 in OSX 10.3.9.

You can already drag rar's into VLC just fine if you hold down Command+Option when dragging your file. Is there a benefit to this that I'm missing?
