Thanks for your advice: first of all, I tried to upgrade to 5.4.122 and everything went fine, but now the bluetooth service is no longer running, so I can't enter the bluetoothctl cli to connect my BT HPs again...
I tried to restart the BT servicet, but I guess I did it the wrong way and it's not working yet...

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo service bluetooth status
bluetooth stop/waiting
xbian@xbian ~ $
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo service bluetooth start
bluetooth stop/pre-start, process 3878
xbian@xbian ~ $
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo service bluetooth status
bluetooth stop/waiting
xbian@xbian ~ $

Any suggestion here?

Have you ever tried not to let Kodi start automatically at boot time?

Excellent point, I'll have a try, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it...
I searched for some instructions on the forums and found this: [SOLVED] How to disable XBMC launch at startup
...but it seems a pretty old thread and this method is not working, at least with my Xbian version...
Once more: any suggestion?

I forgot to mention, but actually this is exactly the same solution I found and I've added to /etc/rc.local this command:

Code:

sudo -u xbian bluetoothctl connect <dev>

Many thanks!
