Before Leia I was happiliy using Kodi's builtin RAR support; with 9.0.0 I found out the hard way that it was spun off to an add-on. I then realized that RAR VFS would work, while libarchive didn't seem to, so I rebuilt most of my library with RAR VFS. Upgrading to 9.0.1, both add-ons were uninstalled (why?) and RAR VFS doesn't seem to do the job anymore. libarchive VFS does, with the exception I mentioned (stacking RARs). I posted an excerpt of my debug log in my previous post, but let me know if can be of any help in any way.
I am grateful for your work on this (and all the work that goes into Kodi), but wasn't this move a bit rushed? RAR support, albeit through hacky, old code, was a stable, consolidated feature which disappeared without a warning with Leia and (for me at least) was broken again by a minor version update.
