[QUOTE="entropyagent, post: 1048357, member: 14332"] I don't know if this is out of scope or budget, or simply impossible(more on that later), but: Do you have an 'old' Android (v5 or up, and OTG-capable) phone available to use and abuse? I believe the Kodi music server is available in the Google Playstore, for my Android v5 device, anyway. An Android phone with Kodi server installed, might, with some caveats*, serve as your 'pi'? *Caveats: I have temporarily set such a phone up as a Kodi server to play music on its own SDcard. I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible for Kodi to access files on a largish external drive via a phone OnTheGo adapter? I have no idea about this. In my experiment, the phone 'server' needed to connect to an existing network, so you might need to a working battery-powered network-managing home router. I think there would be considerable benefits to getting your internet device (DSL? Fibre? LTE? working on battery as well, but that might not be essential here. [/QUOTE]
