Code

# 7z l /var/media/USBSTICK32/videos.7z.001

7-Zip [64] 16.02 : Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Igor Pavlov : 2016-05-21
p7zip Version 16.02 (locale=C,Utf16=off,HugeFiles=on,64 bits,4 CPUs x64)

Can't load './7z.dll' (./7z.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

LibreELEC 8.2.5 / kernel 4.11.12
System Tools add-on 8.2.107
log in, attempt to use '7z' to interact with a multi-part archive as seen above; program fails due to missing library

As a workaround use absolute path for 7z and it will work.

Code

/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/bin/7z l /var/media/USBSTICK32/videos.7z.001

Seems environment variable P7ZIP_HOME_DIR could help but seems it doesn't.

Update: Oh, it is set by function mySplitCommandLine. Patch is needed to overcome this.

or use just 7za that works

Maybe we should just copy 7za and rename it to 7z for the addon.

7za is a stand-alone executable. 7za handles less archive formats than 7z, but does not need any others.
