Upgrading from RPi 3B

Hardware suggestions these days? Good luck! Keep your old stuff.

Better approach at current market situation: Post a list of ~100€ 4K hardware, and we give LE support info for each entry.

Im using a Banana Pi M5 with CoreELEC 19.5-Matrix_rc2 (July 27th, 2022), works pretty good.

Banana Pi M5 and Odroid C4 are supported by LE: Nightly Builds

Please wait for the comment of chewitt before buying. He knows about current state of development.

he logical upgrade path would be a RPi 4, but currently it is not really available.

https://www.welectron.com/Raspberry-Pi-4-B-4-GB (german shop) had a lot 2-3 weeks ago for normal prices, I think just add you to the notification there if new stuff is available and grep one for normal prices

Although there is a shortage of the PCB boards, the Pi 400 seems to be in ready supply. So unless you're looking for a bare PCB this is also an option to consider. I just got one and it runs LibreElec just fine, I got the kit so it contains everything I need. I think the only major difference is that it is missing the 3.5mm audio jack and one USB 2.0 port, but it runs at a higher clock speed and has a heatsink. Something to consider, best of luck.

chewitt was answering. Both devices currently run best with CE. There is no clear winner. If you can't get an RPi4, pick one of those.

PS: If you only need 1080p, you can use LE nightly builds on both devices.
