I confirm that Libreelec 10 released for RPI4 actually works on RPI 3.
My bad. Libreelec 10 (RPI4 release) causes system freezes on RPI3. I guess it will need its own release.

I haven't tried to install the RPI4 release to RPI3 but i will try it out of curiosity (Probly won't even boot). However, I have tried to run the nightlies for RPI3 and unfortunately, i am guessing because nightlies have started using Kodi 20, some addons refuse to work now.

So RPI3 did not have any kind of hardware video decoding right? It did everything via software. And RPI4 only has HEVC hardware decoding. And that is probably because no patent is required for the use of hevc. H264 on the other hand is bound to some patents. So RPI would be more costly if it was sold with a h264 hardware decoding enabled cpu on it (which i think is not even needed). I mean of course if you are trying to play 4K, 8K videos, maybe you run into problems there. I guess RPI is not built for this kind of media playback. Gotta have something more powerful. Gotta open up the wallet there

I am on a RPI3B and i am running Libreelec 11 nightlies. The only thing i miss is the h265 playback. But i know the reason for the change and i made that t.r.a.d.e because now i can actually stream videos and have bluetooth audio as well. Back in 9.2 i had audio and video sync issues with this particular combination. Now it works great. I can do 720/1080p h264 and it is more than enough for me. I am pretty sure that in time, most problems will be resolved. Gotta be patient with free software. It is free for a reason.
