I've played HD content on a RPi 3 for a few years without any issues. In fact I think it was running an earlier version of OpenELEC (not sure when they changed their name to LibreELEC -- or maybe that's a new project with the same goals?)

I'm pretty sure I've used a RPi 2 for HD content too but that did suck. The UI was a little laggy and I had to manually set NFS mounts because even SMB caused too much overhead. Once the stream started it played most content ok but god help you if you needed to fast forward or rewind.

My exact question too. Anybody care to help us out?

They did not change names; LibreELEC was forked from OpenELEC over internal disputes in 2016 or so. Both projects live on independently.

OpenELEC’s last release was in 2017, it was a hard fork :).

A succesful one, i'd say.

LibreELEC is a fork IIRC.
