OrangePi 3 is certainly supported as I regularly test it, but H6 platform is not so mature as H3, however, it's very close.
Nightly images for A64, H3, H5, H6 and R40 boards

I have some problems on a Pine64 Plus to get the IR working. I populated the IR header with an standard IR receiver: pine64_board_connector.png
LibreELEC-A64:~ # systemctl stop kodi
LibreELEC-A64:~ # systemctl stop eventlircd
LibreELEC-A64:~ # uname -a
Linux LibreELEC-A64 5.2.6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 2 07:11:47 EDT 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux
LibreELEC-A64:~ # ir-keytable
No devices found
Has anyone been successful here yet?

Did you enable it in DT file? Anything that it isn't soldered on the board it's not enabled by default. Currently you have to decompile DT file, search for IR node, change status = "disabled"; to status = "okay"; and compile it. Note that change will be lost if you update your image.
Better solution exists (DT overlay), where you would change just one line in config file (similarly to RaspberryPi) and it would be persistent through updates, but it needs more work in LibreELEC build system.

shahidali55 jdpc I added one additional fix for HDMI audio, maybe it will help, please test (H3 update): libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190903205119-128937b.tar
Thanks jernej. Just tested this update, still the same as before with HDMI audio.

Hi
Thanks for your great work
I currently have OPi lite2 and I think it would be great to add support for lite2, too. Today I tested the device with some minor modifications to the dtb file of OPi3(I checked the generic H6 file, no luck) and it was working just fine, but there was a problem with usb3 (I blame vbus for that) and also WiFi(I guess related to vcc) and bluetooth which probably hasn't been solved for any board. Ignoring above problems, there was nothing else.
Also I tried with armbian dtb, and I couldn't use keyboard easily (I had to press a key multiple times), and couldn't make it to kodi. Nevertheless, USB 3 was working fine.
I would appreciate your help, or even simple directions so that I can get the job done.

Agreed, but I don't have it. In this case it's not as easy as adding entry in uboot_helper script, because kernel and U-Boot DT need to be updated and maybe something else too. PRs are welcome, though.
bluetooth which probably hasn't been solved for any board.
Why not? It works on several boards (those which have Broadcom module). Currently I can't rememeber status on OrangePi 3 and I can't test ATM, but I think it works there too.
WiFi(I guess related to vcc)
Note that official OrangePi site reports that different wifi modules are used for OrangePi 3 and OrangePi Lite 2 (AP6256 vs. AP6255). If DT node is set correctly, there still may be difference in firmware. If that is so, you should see an error in dmesg - driver complaining about not able to find and load firmware. But that is relatively easy to fix, just provide dmesg output and I'll take a look.

I found a good deal on Banana Pi M2+ is there anything speaking against this board? It looks ok, but I have absolutely no experience with bananas.

It doesn't have good CPU voltage regulator (1-2 different voltages, depending of revision IIRC), so it gets hotter than other boards. As long as you watch HW decoded videos, it should be fine.

Thanks jernej
so same as with my x2 but 1g Ethernet and ampak brcm wifi. i guess not bad for 15$ shipped with case

It should be available as an add-on already. However, today's nightlies have new Kodi (19.4), so repositories needs to be rebuild which takes a week or two. But you can always build it yourself.

Two issues with H6 HDMI audio were fixed - right channel not working and audio rate was not exact so audio was probably slightly distorted.
Please test following update and report if it works (valid for all H6 devices): libreelec-h6.arm-9.80-devel-20190914184226-e4aa9d6.tar
If it works, I'll PR changes to main LE repository.
Thank you JE, I tested it with Orange Pi One Plus, both stereo channels work!

jernej do you mean something like the patches in this post?
Display Morejernej could you please add IR receiver to A64 family as well?
I created 2 small patches for this, 1st to add IR pins to A64 device tree:
99-add-ir-receiver-for-a64.patch.txt
and 2nd to enable IR on all Pine64 boards:
99-enable-ir-receiver-pine64.patch.txt
It works for my PineA64+ board and should work for all A64 family, because pins and IRQ are the same.
lumpi you can put ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg into /storage/.config/autostart.sh to load your rc map after reboot. Don't forget to chmod +x on autostart.sh file.

Confirmed, with 1080p screen resolution sound is fixed and works fine, thanks a bunch for the effort. Please push it to the main.
A caveat though, with 768p screen resolution the sound problem persists (not so much a problem to me since I'm not using it.)

Audio now is louder and better, same as on OPI-PC.
Thanks !
