14:29 <sime> Would like the chance to help testing imx6 versions of LE10. I'm not always home, but happy to run latest builds

14:47 <jrwren> imx6 is ancient isn't it? 10yrs or so?

15:48 <sime> Can't say. I got mine in 2015. So at least 6!

16:33 <sime> Hrm. Looking at second hand WeTek devices. I imagine they will be supported for a while yet?

16:41 <sime> Ok, this is a clear no for the WeTek Play: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/23341-flash-an-old-8726-mx-box-tv-with-sdcard-and-usb-sd-creator-on-mac-os/?postID=155296&highlight=wetek#post155296

17:48 <mack> sime: this might help you decide which hardware would be a good bet for the future: https://libreelec.tv/2021/02/upcoming-changes/

17:49 <mack> tldr: x86 and Pi4 platforms are best supported. Allwinner and Rockchip next tier of supported.

17:52 <sime> Yup, looking at page a lot (super handy). Definately interested in Allwinner or Rockchip device. Though my preference is something enclosed rather than an open board.

17:53 <mack> pretty much all the single board computers have cases available.

17:55 <sime> Yes, know what you mean. Might be a bit pandentic but I enjoyed my "factory enclosed" Cubox with it's tiny form factor.

17:56 <sime> And obviously cautious by the generic TV Boxes you can find on eBay.

17:56 <sime> But I guess the single board computers are designed to be running _whatever_

20:02 <jrwren> be aware allwinner has been around for a long time now and all are not equal. newer stuff is going to be more capable.
