cbr is a renamed RAR file - cbz is a renamed ZIP file. You can't convert one to the other by renaming them.

XBMC supports reading from RARs but it may be that it only recognises cbz as a valid file extension for doing the comic mode image viewer. If you extract the comic with winrar and recompress it as a zip that should work. Also, if you just rename cbr to rar then XBMC will be able to browse its contents, but I don't know if it will display them the way you want for comic viewing.

Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for putting me straight on the renaming issue. So xbmc will read comics if I have them zipped and not rar'ed. Will I need to download any further software like a plug in?

T3CH's builds of XBMC come with every codec/plugin supported.

Any ideas as to where I can get a link for xcbr?

Have you looked on xbins?

Xcbr really does not work well at all. You are much better off using xbmc to view your comics. the XCBR app needs a major massive upgrade, virtually has no features and seems to be very picky on what it will load and what it wont

I got Xbmc through the  Slayers Evox site latest edition, will that cover it?

Xbins sends me to rockinnovations.com which wont load, anywhere else xcbr would be?
And thanks for the help.

No idea what version of XBMC slayers has, don't care, get it from xbins.
You clearly don't know how to use xbins if it sent you to a website - xbins is not a website. http://www.xbox-scen...icles/xbins.php

Read the XBMC manual on their wiki, the XBMC forum's stickied posts, and/or the README that comes with XBMC?
