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.

I have some problems on a Pine64 Plus to get the IR working.
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
-
OrangePi 3 is certainly supported as I regularly test it, but H6 platform is not so mature as H3, however, it's very close.
-
shahidali55, roel and others with HDMI audio issues. Please test this universal H3 update file if it changes anything:
libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190829200008-9d68e4b.tar
This is for any H3 board, just put it in /storage/.update and reboot.
If anyone wants to do a custom build, this update includes only one additional patch, which should improve situation for A64 and H6 too:
drm: dw-hdmi-i2s: enable audio clock in audio_startup - Patchwork

vitalogy Thanks, but no new Realtek out-of-tree (non-mainline) drivers are accepted in official LE git, as was stated many times already (in Allwinner subforum and github PRs). However, this wifi module has a good chance being supported in mainline soon, as PCIE version is already supported. My info is that SDIO interface support will be added next year. It will be enabled soon as patch(es) will be available.
If you want to do community builds with wifi driver included and publish images here, it's up to you, but as I said, this package will not be accepted to upstream LE git.
-
of course, just take nightly and remove "code" tag from your post.
-
I will monitor your work, thanks for the Libreelec image adapted for this box.
Don't forget that I probably won't post new image here anytime soon, unless there is something to test. Use nightlies instead, they are build almost every day and include all improvements.

libreelec 16
What is that? Maybe you mean old OpenELEC ports with Kodi 16? Anyway, anything not recent is not supported in any way from me.
Im having issues with the pvr iptv simple client with network streams. seam to be crashing or having system lock ups.
First try to manually build image and addon. Only that way you can be completely sure that Kodi and addon match. With nightlies this is not always the case.

Hard to say what could be wrong.
Currently we know that Eachlink boxes, albeit very similar to Tanix TX6, have problem with HDMI, to the point that HDMI connector status must be forced to "always connected" with kernel parameter in order to work.
There are for sure some issues with HDMI, but none of them occurs with HW I own.
