after the initial caching. This option is useless if the file cannot be
cached completely.
+``--rar-list-all-volumes=<yes|no>``
+ When opening multi-volume rar files, open all volumes to create a full list
+ of contained files (default: no). If disabled, only the archive entries
+ whose headers are located within the first volume are listed (and thus
+ played when opening a .rar file with mpv). Doing so speeds up opening, and
+ the typical idiotic use-case of playing uncompressed multi-volume rar files
+ that contain a single media file is made faster.
+
+ Opening is still slow, because for unknown, idiotic, and unnecessary reasons
+ libarchive opens all volumes anyway when playing the main file, even though
+ mpv iterated no archive entries yet.
