Illegal characters in path when playing .rar file

[Hoernchen]

Playing a rar file with a name of abcd.part01.rar results in a "file path" of abcd.part01.rar|filename.mkv shown at the bottom of the screen and this error message (everything works despite the error message):

ArgumentException

Illegal characters in path.

System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

I cannot play a split rar with mkv content in any player, just tried mpc, mpv and potplayer, doesn't work.

I'm not getting an exception however, mpv.net jumps to the next playable file in the playlist.

Is there any player that can play your file? Do you have a download link?

Just tried a rar that is not split. Does not work in any player either. I created it with WinRar, maybe my mkv file is not suitable for streaming, maybe mkv is generally not suitable for streaming.

I could now reproduce and fix it. Thanks for the report.

Woops, I guess I should have mentioned my (usual, working) setup, it's mpc-hc with the rarfilesource directshow filter which nowadays appears to live at https://github.com/mirror/rarfilesource, playing the usual scene releases which consist of mkv containers in multipart uncompressed rar archives. VLC will play that without any issues as well - just like stock mpv, at least if you target the first archive.

It should work in 5.0 which I just released. Thanks for the feedback.
