A quick update: I still have bluetooth issues with 5.4.122, so I reverted back to 5.1.114 and luckily this time I was able to figure out how to stop Kodi from starting automatically at boot time (disabling autostart for "xbmc" service from xbian-config).
So, I've added to my /etc/rc.local the command to start Kodi just after the BT HPs get connected, like this:

Code:

sudo -u xbian  pulseaudio --start
sudo -u xbian bluetoothctl connect <dev>
service xbmc start

With this config, the audio on my BT HPs works fine both from GUI and from video/addons, so in the end it seems that Kodi MUST start after the BT device is already connected (and I guess this makes sense, after all...).
I'm afraid this solution is not very elegant and can't be applied for every case, but it does work for me, so I'd rather stick to it.

Any suggestion from anyone about the bluetooth service not running on 5.4.122?

Thanks!
