What can A10 in theory achieve? Compared to lets say an H3?
Not much. This is more about making boards useful again.

Support for A20 was merged in LibreELEC master. Nightly images are already available. Please discuss A20 in Nightly images for A20, A64, H3 and H6 boards from now on. A10 should be still discussed here.

Support for Allwinner A20 was merged in master. Nightly images are already available. A20 HDMI audio support will hopefully come in January.

Can you try Tanix TX6 image? AFAIK it should work on that box.

I didn't test on H603 because I don't have any such board, but my understanding is that it's more or less same as H6, just lower maximum frequency and no Gigabit ethernet support. I highly doubt they change anything in the HDMI controller itself. It's more likely that CEC source clock is not set correctly. You are sure that you have CEC enabled on your TV? On every TV I used I had to enable CEC first...

Image for Cubieboard2 based on my A20 PR: libreelec-a20.arm-9.80-devel-20191229134424-9bca1fb-cubieboard2.img.gz

which image are you using? Anyway, without having box here it's hard to fix things. Does CEC work on LE? It should...
P.S.: It might be also Kodi issue, it's in pre-alpha state.

it can run on a OpiPC with Armbian running a mainline 5.3?
you would at least need to patch kernel and ffmpeg with patches included here. But kernel patches are for 5.4.
Better yet, would it even run under X?
Doubtful, but with above changes you may be able to build it for GBM platform (no window manager).

riku Some Python issues should be solved with next Kodi update, but I don't know when what will happen nor if that will help solve your issues.

besit changes are already merged and fix will be available in next nightly image.

I enabled additional drivers in kernel. If it works for you, I'll open PR so those drivers will be included in nightlies.

FYI, thermal driver PR was merged yesterday. Kodi should show now CPU temperature. Also on the SoC which have GPU temperature sensor (A64, H6), gputemp command will show GPU temperature. On H3, gputemp show same temperature as cputemp.

daten Sorry for late response. Can you test this update? libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20191222122600-3fa9671.tar

Finally some good news. Olimex kindly donated A20 board on which I could reproduce driver issue and fix it. Equally important, Olimex works on HDMI audio driver, but it won't be finished before new year. More info here.
So, anyone who wants to test new images? If so, you can build them yourself from here or ping me with your board name and I'll upload test images.
P.S.: Addons should work too now.

What is the minimum number of u-boot options will be enough to run the system on different h6 models ?
1 for DDR3, 2 for LPDDR3 ?
Maybe, I don't know, I never tried to do something like that. That's not something I'm after.
You can tell in which source files there are parameters that are responsible for the order of polling devices, where to look (extlinux.conf)?
Not sure what you mean exactly. U-Boot has search procedure for extlinux.conf stored in environment variables. This is the same for all platforms, not only Allwinner. You can change them at runtime with setenv and store them with saveenv.
Still, having system on USB dongle and having U-Boot on SD card is very inconvenient for the end user.
