Maybe more to come...

if it's an unreal engine game compressed with lzo then for precompression, you must provide lzopro, standard lzo cannot restore any of the streams. If you use ztool/xtool but skip verification, you'll notice that the precompressor does see the streams but just for the fact that it cannot restore them with perfect crc, it just skips all of them. The reason I added skip verification was the fact that if it ever came to a point where one cannot really precompress a game with perfect crc, it should then at least allow you to try to pack a game with different crc but then also allow you to repack it, example of this was DmC: Devil May Cry, also unreal engine game compressed with lzo, I couldn't use xtool to precompress game but used skip verification, the game files were different but the game played from start to finish without crashing plus I managed to save space after repacking it.

as for Odyssey, probably some internal issue but the scanner does see all the streams in the samples

Done!!!

for Destiny, I think lzna was used on this game just like mk11 (I see a lot of 0x058c headers everywhere), support for lzna is not added at the moment, but I obviously need to confirm this.

Yeah I used oo2recm for Odyssey and it worked fine (AFR works too but has no stdin support for compression, means temp files are over 250GB in size before srep even starts). With XTool:oodle it was just game size + ~2gb temp file (in task manager xtool just stop working after a certain point just in the beginning, no cpu or ram load, only hdd load for copying).

We already can use uelr for the unreal engine lzo games listed above, but the main problem is, that it has no stdin too and only specific files can be unpacked with it (unlike xtool, you can't just pack the whole game with uelr if files are present which don't have lzo streams, for example binaries or text files. You have to use masking or a seperate archive if you use diskspan for example. With xtool we can just pack the whole game without seperate it by files or streams).
