First community LibreELEC images for H3

Hi everyone,

long time no see. I've been working hard with many people to bring up Kodi on LibreELEC with mainline kernel. Now that Bootlin wrote initial driver for VPU, I decided to prepare first "preview" images of LibreELEC for H3. Please check here for details. I would prefer if communication continues on LibreELEC forum in Allwinner section, but I will of course also check this forum.

Many thanks, but Orange Pi ONE image is missing. I think, Orange Pi ONE boards are most common (far incomparably with other Orange Pi variants), because it is the cheapest of all (cca 10 USD/pcs).
And it's not true that it only has a 256MB ram. Correct is 512 MB. You're messing with Orange Pi Zero probably (256 MB).

I uploaded image for One. I recommend avoiding H264, but MPEG2 and H265 baseline should be ok.

Avoid H264. This is not possible.

With update published yesterday it is already much better, but still not the best. Interleaved videos still don't work.

How about non interleaved? Fully working?

Hi. Libreelec repository doesn't work. Any other way to install simple iptv plugin? I tried that with openelec and stream stops after a couple of seconds. The same stream works fine on windows. Thanks.

Dear Jernej!

Many thanks for your work! As I understand you are trying to implement Libreelec 8 with Kodi 17 on these old boards?
It would be my pleasure to test it! And I also wonder where am I able to get the PVR simple client for these builds?

I have tried your image on my OrangePi Plus 2E. It seems to me that the menu responds no so smoothly. Like it’s not hardware accelerated. As for the video - I couldn’t find a suitable version of PVR IPTV Simple Client, so I hadn’t chance to test videos, unfortunately.

And how can I manually install your updates to LibreELEC?

I compiled the image for orange pi one, because jernej dropped support, so if anyone wants to try it out here is the link.
