Because tv-shows get released as rar's and quite often pumped directly onto bit torrent networks. Usenet btw is one i didn't even think of. Splitting files for usenet is easyer aswell. And what about photo's. If I have a few albums packed in rar's on a CD maybe even, I'd have to extract them manually all before viewing.
I looked at unpack.py but it uses kaa.notifier. From what I can gather that is a module for freevo 2.0. I'm still stranded with 1.5.4 currently. Also from what I could understand from the src is that it just extracts it to a dir, doesn't play it right away. Anyway, why would my wrapper keep on looping when launched from freevo? Or more precicly, why would freevo keep on launching mplayer after it is finished?
