Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Youtube add-on from official kodi repository

Expected behaviour

App should install

Actual behaviour

Error message: Inputstream.Adaptive not found
It is not possible to install Youtube add-on.

Extra details

Not sure if this is a bug. Searching on kodi forums, it’s reported that Inputstream.Adaptive is missing on recent Kodi version.
Though it’s not clear how to resolve this problem. Various solutions are offered.
But I don’t know how to properly address this problem.

Thanks

Did you install the “Adaptive InputStream” addon beforehand?

Add-ons > Add-on browser > My add-ons > VideoPlayer InputStream

https://kodi.tv/addons/nexus/inputstream.adaptive/

at least we don’t build own kodi version as we use the official one from global repository. I guess it would need to be fixed upstream if plugins are mission.

I haven’t installed it. Do I use this command:
sudo apt-get install kodi-inputstream-adaptive
And then use kodi interface to enable?

It wasn’t clear which version to use on InputStream Adaptive | Nexus | Addons as it doesn’t list a linux x84_64 version
