[Matroska-devel] Haali Media Splitter file locking

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

I've been playing around with trying to play partially extracted mkv
files, i.e. run "unrar e -vp -kb film.rar" (this causes unrar to wait
for c to be pressed each time it finds a missing archive, on each
press it extracts another volume, appending to the existing file)
I'm not a Windows expert, but it appears that Haali is trying to get
an exclusive read lock on the file... obviously this will fail as
unrar still has a write lock
Assuming what I've said is correct, would it be possible to add an
option to Haali splitter that changes the open locking behaviour?

Thanks

Lewis
