Device: ONN 4K pro
OS: Android TV 12
Kodi version 21.1

Kodi crashes in two scenarios:

1) when I enable "update library at startup"
2) If I manually go and "change content" to rescan the contents of some folders with tv series video files

Here is the log:
https://paste.kodi.tv/ajimiyudos.kodi

and here is the old.log
https://paste.kodi.tv/dupewisadi.kodi

Could someone please help me undestand why it crashes with every library update ?

[starkman]

Since I'm not sure the above files are the correct ones, I once again started KODI, with the "update library on startup" disabled.
I manually went to "update video library" and Kodi crashed.
Here is the log file:

https://paste.kodi.tv/oritahekef.kodi

I can see two lines with errors but I cannot understand what they mean

your kodi setup looks over customized, it would be hard to locate any 1 thing that would make kodi crash
be cognisant your device only has 3GB RAM to begin with

red flags that stand out

you're running a vfs addon that wasn't updated to omega, based on a recent post these may cause issues
- vfs.libarchive v20 https://github.com/xbmc/vfs.libarchive/releases

you're using an addon that has in the past caused crashing
- script.embuary.helper v2.0.8

the last addon to run before crash in your log.old was tmdb helper
- plugin.video.themoviedb.helper


my recommendation would be to disable at least those 3 and see if it improves
if not then you need to compare with a clean install then add addons individually until you find out which one is causing the issue
it could also be a collision between addons so be aware of that

Thank you so much.
I have found and uninstalled the following plugins

- plugin.video.themoviedb.helper
- script.embuary.helper v2.0.8

and the whole Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded skin that installed and used some of those addons
but I still cannot find this one, to disable it

- vfs.libarchive v20

Any idea how to find this and disable it ?

EDIT: I found it and will disable it

the debian link shouldn't be useful for android
addons not found through the normal addons menu might be found through system settings under addons https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/System/Add-ons
- either manage dependencies (most likely) or under running

but looks like you already found it

Thank you, yes that link helped me understand what this add on does (it's to support archives) and then I went and found it via the settings>system> add-ons and disabled it.
Now I'm doing a librady update and will report back.

Everything seems to be working fine now.
Thank you for your help.
