Hello,
I've been trying to build out a small setup so I can move an amp away from PC to the other side of the room. My big requirement is being able to stream an MP3 radio station and listen to GPM. I've been trying to get Kodi on LibreELEC to work on a PI 2 and a PI 4. I have to say at this point I'm very frustrated in the whole attempt. Honestly, I'm actually considering using Raspbian and VNC.
LibreELEC: LibreELEC (official): 9.1.501 (RPi4.arm)
Kodi 18.4
Exp GPM version: Beta2 linked a page or two back.

The issue stems from an earlier reported issue regarding Python and lib2to3 missing.
Does anyone have a fix for this without me having to compile something from scratch? A linked lib that supposedly solved the issue is no longer available. I'm a software engineer 5 days a week so I don't mind technical solutions but I had hoped that Kodi and its addins were a little more worn-in than what I'm seeing. I don't mind throwing in some fixes to the project if something needs to be tested. I'd really like to see this move from Beta to a stable release.
Since I'm new to HTPC/Mediacenter builds is using LibreELEC considered sub-optimal? Should I be on version 17.x of Kodi seeing that every guide makes no mention of 18? I had hoped that the Pi 4 would be up to the task but I should have reviewed other's investigations with it as I suppose that it is still too "bleeding edge" for most stuff (the screen tearing is gawd awful).
Thanks for looking. Sorry for the ranty part. Just spent the entire day trying to figure this out and I'm about at the same spot where I started (albeit most of my time was trying to get SMB working between Kodi and Windows 10).
