Hello, thanks for your replies. I've been busy last weeks... rpi4 definitely unavailable, to the point I find it second hand twice more expensive than the official price for new.
The question was not that easy, with your propositions, if I take in consideration availability and wifi, and price... none completely fits.
Well, I finally took the risk with a orangepi3 lts, 55€ with power supply and shipping. While LE is not supported, I was planning to rely the onboard android 9, and maybe stick on that.
I received it, maybe not the good place to talk about that as I don't use LE in the end, but.... :
Onboard android 9 doesn't come with any store, so installing kodi is not as simple as click install on google's play store. Got the APK, it get installed, but never start.
orangepi supplies an image of debian 11 with preinstalled kodi... :
... and some undocumented tricks : It works really fine, actually I've been able to play a 2160p video that a core i3 pc was not able to play. (I did try to install kodi on an other ubuntu image and didn't get the same result....)
I just had to setup kodi as a standalone service, and it does the job. Wifi is working, BT also (a bit tricky to pair though)
I'd really like to switch back to LE in the future, I love the simplicity and the lightweigth, but my plan is to stick to Wifi for internet connection, and if it works fine, BT for sound, so that I have no more cables between the videoprojector and hifi amp....
Wifi/BT must be somewhere in there : https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong
I have no idea about the amount of job to integrate that in LE. If I had spare time I may look deeper into it...
