No Ethernet in pine64-lts images. I've tried a couple of nightly images, and none can detect the ethernet port. I saw some discussion about ethernetnot working previously in this thread, but from what I figured that was supposed to have been resolved.
That discussion was about Pine64+. Maybe LTS version needs similar fix. I will prepare test update.

jdpc Interesting, settings are exactly the same except for the base clock which expected. What is unexpected is that 48kHz I2S status shows FIFO underrun (audio is not provided fast enough). I have no idea how that could happen. Certainly something to investigate.
EDIT: That is for receive side, which is even stranger, because audio receiving is not supported by HDMI.

Will extensions be ready or should we wait a bit?
You mean add-ons? Most add-ons depends on Kodi version and some also on kernel, but that shouldn't affect anything, because kernel userspace API is stable. Anyway, Kodi was updated few days back, so yeah, you can wait a bit. But to be honest, I'm not sure how frequently add-ons are rebuilt. It can take more than a week.

FYI, next nightly will be with Linux 5.3.0 and with fix for H6 HDMI audio.

jdpc patrickkfkan can you provide output of following commands during playback of video with 48kHz audio?
I would still like to resolve this issue, if possible.
-
i would like to know if we can burn on emmc and how to do it if it is possible ?
That's already explained in more details somewhere here or in previous topic or both. Just burn same image to emmc over ssh.

jdpc patrickkfkan Another update to test: libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190917173122-d52e8dc.tar If this still doesn't work, I'll have to write that script.

No, it doesn't work for everyone, that's why I'm asking. Anyway, I tried to reproduce this issue on my TV, but it worked every time. If nothing would help, I'll write a script which will dump HW settings and you'll run it on LibreELEC and OpenELEC. Comparison of those two dumps should give clue what's different and why it doesn't work. But before that, there are still some settings to be updated.

patrickkfkan jdpc I just tested a ton of new audio related updates from mainline. They work for me, but I never had much problems. Can you test this update (works with all H3 devices): libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190916172159-d52e8dc.tar

My only question is there's no information about the CPU temp etc. under /sys/class/thermal/. Same w/ some other things like voltage under /sys/class/regulator, freq under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq.
Missing kernel config params ?
There are no thermal driver in mainline kernel for SoCs starting from A83T on, including H3, A64 and H6. Most other distributions carry out-of-tree patches, but I don't think this is necessary here. I have plenty of work with multimedia related patches already. Mainline driver should be close to merging, though. I'm not sure why you wouldn't see voltage regulator info especially because you can read it under /sys/kernel/debug, but for cpufreq maybe also some out-of-tree patch is missing, I don't know.

Ok, thanks to all for testing! Changes currently depend on Linux 5.3 PR, so it will take about a week or two to get all relevant changes merged. Until then you can use this version.
iocast Those patches are old, most of that is already merged, but yes, you would need that "okay" change. You can edit your dtb file first by decompiling it with dtc -I dtb -O dts -o <filename>.dts <filename>.dtb, edit resulting dts file and recompile it with dtc -I dts -O dtb -o <filename>.dtb <filename>.dts

Plis add TvHeadend server
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.

Download Tanix TX6 image from here (.img.gz), extract it, so you have only .img file and burn it to microSD card with some tool like Etcher, dd, win32 disk imager or something similiar.

I found a good deal on Banana Pi M2+ is there anything speaking against this board?
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.
-
I currently have OPi lite2 and I think it would be great to add support for lite2, too.
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.
