Can you share some more information on your system. For some systems Kodi is installed from office source/apt repository.

[Thundervarela]

Fixed with reboot thanks

[Thundervarela]

With reboot after the command sudo apt install kodi-vfs-libarchive it got fix that lib

How does it not work? Did you restart Kodi?

Not sure if this is the issue, but while Kodi from RPi repo is v19.4, the kodi-vfs-libarchive package is v19.2. Both were however built on the exact same day, so it at least looks like it's expected. Ah and also on Debian the version strings do not match. Seems like the Kodi major version alignment has been done just recently: On Bullseye backports it's v19.4 vs v19.0.

EDIT: Ah solved, okay them 🙂.

Brand new fresh install and those are the issues

[MichaIng]

Jep, so no issue at all, just a missing package for an additional feature.

[Thundervarela]
