Changes are applied in next nightly image after PR gets merged, but I don't know when it will be merged.
Unfortunately, the situation has not improved.
I've tried the last image (LibreELEC-H6.arm-9.80-devel-20200415141313-837464c-orangepi-lite2.img.gz) and penultimate image (it was released on April 14), but that's the same as before. It always hangs on some screen (especially the LibreELEC add-on) and then I'm forced to turn off the power.
Great news!
Unfortunately I am not able to compile myself.
When will a new image be available?
This is not meant to be any pressure. I'll be happy to wait.
PR was already merged, so I'll soon remove that test image because nightly image for OrangePi Lite2 is already available for download.
I downloaded a new image for OPi Lite 2 and made an upate. Unfortunately, it could not be used. Always the GUI gets stuck in some place and then it is no longer possible to get away.
I tried to do a clean installation, but that didn't help. The result was the same.
I captured the behavior on the video.
What you see there is when you press one cursor key (just one press) ...
I had to return to the LibreELEC-H6.arm-9.80-devel-20200404212626-7a86df9-orangepi-lite2.img.gz test image.
This means bluetooth in general works or not? Can you provide whole dmesg output?
After crash-restart everything worked - including bluetooth remote (that means I didn't have to re-pair).
I prepared test image for OrangePi Lite2. If responses are positive, I'll merge it upstream.

Great job!
I put this test image into operation and I have a very positive experience.
This works better than previous Archi's versions.
In particular, WiFi is now much more reliable.
I tried video, radio, TV (Simple IPTV client) and YouTube.
Everything works smoothly.
The only problem occurred when I paired the Sony BD remote (bluetooth). Then there was a crash. But since then everything is OK.
However, you have to consider that I am a beginner in the LibreELEC area.
Thanks for the information !
I haven't noticed this in the add-on description before. That was easy and now it works for me.
I'm used to using Midnight Commander, which makes working through the SSH console easier. But LE does not allow installation, so it is not possible to add it normally.
I think the easiest solution is to use a relay.
The relay coil will be powered from the TV's USB port and the relay contacts will switch external RPi power.
One problem but I see here. When you turn off the TV, RPi will be forcibly turned off as well, and it will not be turned off correctly.
This works almost ok, Plex is not working.
But Wi-Fi is ok, and playback is ok.
Thank you for the notification!
I am very happy that there is at least some possibility ...
First of all, please don't use formatting which would suggest screaming or needlessly seek attention. It's very distracting.
I am very sorry for my inappropriate behavior. Unfortunately, I did not know the local conventions.
Those issues you found out are exactly the difference between the boards you mentioned.
That is quite obvious, and I have understood that before.
There is OPi Lite 2 PR open, but it seems author lost interest (maybe requested fixes were a bit too hard...). Anyway, I don't have this board. If the PR author or someone else improve it, then I'll merge it. If not, well, bad luck.
Never mind, so far I'm happy with the Archi's version.
This more or less meets all of my current needs.
And I believe that over time, even the OPi Lite 2 will become fully supported.
Hi!
I'm completely new here and also a complete beginner. So I beg your leniency.
I have an OrangePi Lite 2 (Allwinner H6) board. Because I didn't find an image for this board, I used an image for OPi One Plus.
I can say: It works !
Additional boards can be supported if requested, but only if they are supported by mainline kernel.
So I have a request:
Can you create a version for OPi Lite 2 too?
This would surely welcome more users.
Otherwise, this very nice board can not be fully used: onboard WiFi and Bluetooth does not work and USB3 port does not work.
EDIT: Please don't use formatting which suggest screaming.
