Heya, I’m currently running Libreelec 12 on an Argon One RPi 4B, but hit a snag when I wanted youtube playback. The “official” youtube addon needs an API key, which just adds complexity when you don’t use a google account. I’m fond of Newpipe on android and thought it would be a nice addition but there is no flatpack support. I’ve hit the limits of LEs atomic nature a couple times and so, wanted to check out alternatives. My requirements are:

• working Argon One integration (remote and power signaling)

• Kodi autoboot

• docker/podman

• waydroid/flatpack for Newpipe

• ideally backed by an unrestricted Linux install for background services

Obvious contender would be OSMC, but whenever I search for setups and experiences, people just complain about all the stuff that doesn’t work, and there is no listing available for what comes included in the appstore/repo.

I could also go manual with RPiOS/Debian/Ubuntu, but I would like a set-and-forget kodi-box and taking a more generic distro might complicate things.

Can I get some opinions on OSMC, as well as what you are rocking on your Kodi-setups. Thanks in advance.
