Something interesting i found while using xbmc with VC, xbmc has the ability to play rar'ed movie files, if i say play movie predators and its in a rar achive it wont play, but if i extract it, no problem.
Thats just something interesting i found thought i'd let'cha know  ;D

try using find movie instead it might work.

play movie is actually telling XBMC to play the file using the filename, which XBMC might not like if it's a rar.  Nothing we can do about it on our end.

but find movie is using a smart playlist to search the xbmc library so it should work.

I wonder if VC would be able to understand Grover...
