Physically to avoid surprises on regular usage. No big deal.

Use the default skin.

Log from LE 11, installed on a different microSD please. Link to nightly builds: Click!

If you still have issues with LE11 nightly, then it's time to post a report at Kodi forum (not sure whether it's a known bug). A caching algorithm for picture scrolling should be implemented.

Sometimes it takes a while until pastekodi creates a link, but it also could be a server error during the upload. However, the CMA error is visible at the current log:

If you provide a log, then we could get a proof for bad caching implementation, and Kodi team hopefully reacts:

More and more people will ask for apps in the future.

Looking at that diagram, it seems as if all the pins are predefined for a specific use. Are there open pins that can be programmed?

RPi3B+ uses GPIO03 for power on / shutdown. That pin is also predefined for I2C SCL (I2C clock), but I2C will only be activated by a dtparam at config.txt. I bet your Le Potato uses something similar to activate I2C. So I would use I2C_SCK_A0. SCK probably means SCL here.

...switched HDMI ports and then configured Kodi via the GUI.

That probably creates a setup error. Login by SSH, delete .kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml, reboot, and configure again.

Try an HDMI cable, which is known to work with 4K. When buying a new one, it should have HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 standard (a.k.a. 4K).

Current RPi prices are so crazy that I had to spend some hope.

RPi Zero W might work for your needs: Click!

If you find a regular (non-Android) Linux for Fire TV, then you could autostart Kodi on it.

Don't expect better performance on LE. Android is already super optimized for all popular media, and Kodi app uses those API's.

To make it perfect: Cut a larger prototype board to make it fit into your desired case. So you can drill mounting holes at the right spots.

I would use a single-side prototype board to put everything together. Example: Click!

Use the non-contact side to glue your PCB's on (hot glue gun), and use the contact side for the wiring.

Kodi app is available for Fire TV stick via sideloading. That's why an LE implementation is very unlikely, and doesn't exist yet.

Not sure about your current wiring now. If not already done, try:

AUDIO: HTPC HDMI -> AVR

VIDEO: HTPC DP -> adapter -> projector

Play around with different pass-through settings for this setup.

The specs at post #47 mention "Intel Clear Video (HD) Technology". If you find switches for that in the BIOS, try different settings.

Name it OPi and RPi to avoid confusion.
