OK, I think I've figured this out.  Just documenting my findings for anyone else that is stuck on this.

zip and rar files will (currently) not copy contents with the 'archive://' vfs url.  They will copy if you use the 'zip://' or the 'rar://' url

7z/bz2/gzip/xz/etc (all the formats that libarchive supports) will copy if you use the 'archive://' url

The contents of an rar/zip/7z etc will correctly be listed using xbmcvfs.listdir using 'archive://' regardless of the format.  The builtin xbmc.extract does not work with 'archive://', only 'zip://' and 'rar://'

@spiff
I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior?  I'd think extraction/copying would work on zip/rar files with libarchive since it also supports zip and rar.

Edit:  One thing I still cannot get to work is extracting / copying data a folder or file in a folder in a libarchive supported file.  xbmcvfs.copy will generate a file for a folder, but it's an invalid file.  Is there a valid method for extracting all files/folders within a libarchive supported file?


Test code:

python:


print('libarchive test')

import os

from urllib import quote_plus as url_quote

from kodi_six import xbmc, xbmcaddon, xbmcplugin, xbmcgui, xbmcvfs

directory_from = '/Users/xxx/Downloads/1941.zip'

directory_to = '/Users/xxx/Downloads/test/'

path = url_quote(directory_from)

print('Archive file test')

(dirs, files) = xbmcvfs.listdir('archive://%s' % (path))

print('Dirs and files')

print(dirs)

print(files)

src = os.path.join('archive://%s' % (path),files[0])

print(xbmcvfs.exists(src))

dest = os.path.join(directory_to,files[0])

print('Test copy from archive %s to %s' %(src, dest))

success = xbmcvfs.copy(src, dest)

print(success)

print('Copied file exists test from archive')

print(xbmcvfs.exists(dest))

print('Zip file test')

(dirs, files) = xbmcvfs.listdir('zip://%s' % (path))

print('Dirs and files')

print(dirs)

print(files)

src = os.path.join('zip://%s' % (path),files[0])

print(xbmcvfs.exists(src))

dest = os.path.join(directory_to,files[0])

print('Test copy from zip %s to %s' %(src, dest))

success = xbmcvfs.copy(src, dest)

print(success)

print('Copied file exists test from zip')

print(xbmcvfs.exists(dest))

print('Done.')
