Playing video from rar fails when files are named *.part1.rar | *.part1.r00 etc

When trying to play a video file from rar files that are named *.part1.rar | *.part1.r00 | *.part1.r01 etc VLC is expecting *.part2.rar which does not exist.

If for example the files would be named *.pt1.rar *.pt1.r00 *.pt1.r01 etc VLC succeeds in opening the video file.

The parsing of the rar file should be altered to check if ,besides having part1 in the filename, there are other filenames in the same directory which match packing with the "old style volume names" feature in winrar.

old style= *.rar *.r00 *.r01 *.r02 new style= *.part01.rar *.part02.rar *.part03.rar

Notice that new style packing uses part01 and not part1

So I don't even understand why VLC is giving this error when opening a old style packed file which happens to have part1 in the filename.
