About the app

The current version 18 (Matrix) comes with outdated plugins like InputStreamAdaptive, which in turn does not support the new 64-bit version of widevine. Therefore Netflix is not possible on a 64-bit Rasperry Pi OS. In the newer Kodi this is all adapted and fixed... but this can only be installed with difficulty for laymen.

Kodi is a package app meaning it comes directly from apt.
It is much too complicated to install it from any other method. It will be updated as you update your distro (eg: move to a debian bookworm or Ubuntu lunar or newer)

I also suggest if you want to use Kodi frequently always on the latest version that you use the official libreelec distro https://libreelec.tv/downloads/

Thank you for the info. Just for understanding. If it comes from apt why is it then includet in pi-apps? (I thought only additional software is there).

Refer to the note about package apps here as to why they exist in pi-apps #185 (comment)

If you wish to not show any package-apps in pi-apps you can change that in pi-apps settings
