Seems for some reason SSH server on your RPi is really not running.
Do you have anything special configured on RPi? Like having storage on USB stick or it is "normal" instalation what LibreELEC provides?

Try using image from LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.2.5 MR – LibreELEC. Or LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.007 ALPHA – LibreELEC.

Hash is not important in this case. And any tool is good.

You just need to enable ssh and it should work.
One option would be that ssh server starts to early when there is no network connection? Try disabling it from LibreELEC settings, wait a minute and then enable it back. And try connecting again.
I out of ideas.

Maybe the SSH port has been blocked somehow by your router. Check the port settings of your router.
And/or you can try SSH tunneling: SSH Tunnel with PuTTY

Yes already opened port 22 in my router but still doesn't work. Same result trying SSH tunnel..
Now I'm running out of ideas, too.
You could go to a friend, and try to connect at his/here router setup.
You could join an internet security forum, and ask for SSH help there.
If nothing helps, buy a second RPi, if you only have one now.

Last option is to run tcpdump on RPi and see if any packets come there. And if ssh server even runs. But I'm not sure if this is possible on RPi locally on TV.

Thanks, I can connect Rpi on TV, but how do I run tcpdump? I think there is no console in LibreELEC right?
Thanks

Well, I'm not sure for RPi console. It exists for x86.
You could try installing VNC and see if this service works.

I was trying to set up ssh just to install vnc through commands because vnc server is not installed/running by default in Rpi..
I guess I could live without ssh to run Hyperion led system.. but I’m really curious why it doesn’t work.. :_(

VNC install is one from Kodi: Setup VNC server on Kodi using Raspberry Pi3 - MrModder.com

Two infrequent but persistent reasons I have seen for SSH services "not working" ..
a) The /storage partition is formatted as FAT or NTFS so it does not support unix permissions. In this scenario the OS applies 777 perms to everything on /storage and sshd considers private keys to be insecure so the daemon will not start. This should never happen with a default install as we create /storage as EXT4.
b) User has added extra wireless routers in their network and they are configured as routers so they create a second subnet (instead of using them as a bridge to extend the current subnet) so the wirelessly connected HTPC box is behind a NAT gateway and not contactable.

Thanks, I could install VNC but again I can't connect..

Hm the storage partition is formatted as FAT32 if I recall correctly. Would that mean that will not work? How can I format as EXT4? I think I had no option to select how to format it.
As per b) option, I only have one router so I would discard that one.
Thanks!
