which SBC with IR support / LibreElec?

Hello ,

i have on Rock64 SBC and several other Raspberry Pi/Pine Board,

and noticed that when i install Libreelec on Rock64,

can use TV remote out of the Box with the Unit which is very handy.

However, the Rock64 is unstable , so would like to use another SBC instead for Libreelec.

Could you please advise on what i need to lookout on specs for SBC to achieve the same with a newer SBC (compatibility with IR Remote) without need for additional devices like FLirc.

or could you advise for a good SBC with Librelec compatiblity?

Have thought of N2*plus but it is rather expensive.

The same functionality is not found when i would install Librelec on a Raspberry Pi1 or 2 or Pine64 A64 out of the box.

Thanks.

was thinking about raspberry pi3 model b+, would work also if i use this in a official raspberry case or not?

only thing i really dislike about newer Pi is that they have wlan, hence would need to deactivate wlan, and those software deactivations seem not very stable.

tested again with the Raspberry Pi 1,

would have to correct myself, the CEC feature function beautifully with Libreelec 9.0.2.

Have ordered now the Raspberry Pi 3 B, hope it is a good choice, since the other SBC have here struggle with the VC1 codec playback (those from Bluray)
