A big thank you to the team doing the H6 nightlies, I used the 2012-11 version and made a usb which I dd to the emmc of my orange pi 3 -- works a charm, the wifi is all good, TVheadend and client as good as on my x86 I5 machine.
I tried android kodi - ubuntu kodi - debian kodi - just crap. Libreelec is a god send and it just works!!!!
Well done to whoever.
