Cannot read .cbr files with CentOS 7

I never had any problem with CentOS 6.5. It just worked, I don't remember ever having to install anything.

On CentOS 7, I have an app called evince, that is supposed to open .cbr files, but I just get this error: "File type RAR archive (application/x-rar) is not supported."

I installed Calibre, but that does not work either.

Again, I know the files are readable, I had no trouble with CentOS 6.5.

I have tried installing Comics, Mcomics, ACBF - those apps will not even install.

Any help appreciated.

RAR is not a Free Software file format, so it's not included. You'll need to add a third-party repo like Nux then yum install unrar
