mplayer tries to handle rar by first looking to see if a .rar file with the same basename exitst. This breaks when the video is alread extracted and lies in the same directory as the .rar file. This is especialy annoing whene the .rar file is password protected, since mplayer can't handle them (which is another bug). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. pack test.avi into test.rar 2. in the same directory copy a different video to test.avi 3. mplayer test.avi Actual Results: mplayer plays the video in the .rar file. Expected Results: mplayer should first try to open the .avi file and on failure try the .rar [ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090530 USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib alsa amrnb amrwb ass cddb cdio cdparanoia dirac dts dv dvd dvdnav enca encode faac faad fbcon gif iconv jack jpeg ladspa live lzo mad mmx mmxext mng mp2 mp3 nemesi network opengl osdmenu png pnm rar rtc samba schroedinger shm speex sse sse2 tga theora tremor truetype unicode vorbis x264 xanim xinerama xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc (-altivec) -bidi -bindist -bl -cpudetection -custom-cflags -custom-cpuopts -debug -dga -directfb -doc -dvb -dxr3 -esd -ftp -ggi -gmplayer -ipv6 -joystick -libcaca -lirc -md5sum -musepack -nas -nut -openal -oss -pulseaudio -pvr -quicktime -radio (-real) -sdl -ssse3 (-svga) -teletext -v4l -v4l2 -vdpau (-vidix) (-win32codecs) -zoran" VIDEO_CARDS="-mga -nvidia -s3virge -tdfx -vesa" 8,015 kB
