All this VIM3 tom foolery is going to add to the fun of software support especially when they dump it on the market with just the standard Android. A bit of a mess really.

It shouldn't be that bad since both S922X and A311 are "G12B".

Shoog AFAIK afl1 ported his driver to mainline and balbes150 includes it in his builds. I also prepared packaging for this driver to be included in the future: TEST: add media_tree_aml for out-of-tree DVB drivers · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv@4230427 · GitHub

is there a developer here to help and answer questions?
If someone knows an answer, they reply. I guess you are referring to DVB-related questions and I'm afraid there are no many people here who can answer them.

How far are we from a working panfrost image for s912?
Hopefully in a few months: Joining Collabora for a summer of Panfrost

LE has been working on a release for the VIM3, but I cannot say how ready for prime time it is.
Mainline-based LE also works on Odroid-N2 and it was ready earlier than for VIM3 simply because the Odroid was ready earlier.
It is a work in progress but support for both boards should be almost equal in mainline-based builds. I also think that CE support is a matter of creating a device tree for VIM3 and like you said: most of work for S922X was already done for N2 and every S922X can reuse it.

MikeKL The black text seems to be a Panfrost bug, will hopefully be solved within a few days.

It looks like balbes150 used an outdated kernel config for G12 image and didn't enable sound drivers.
You can try using this image (universal image for S905 and S905X2, remember to choose device tree): (removed)

Just to report that I don't see any improvement in playback of HEVC files compared to the previous builds.
Unfortunately there have been no improvements in regards of HW decoding.
The only thing to test in the latest build is perhaps HDMI audio on S905X2 and S922X: patches are included, I cannot say if they work or not as I have no "next-gen" device.

Thanks.
I ref this post
Test LibreELEC images with KODI-18 for S9xxx
and a previous post also where the wired NIC worked with manual intervention to turn it on.
I have been unable to test any image since as no connection available in any of them.
Like I said, the fixes are not yet included in the builds from balbes150 as they require some integration work.
-
JohnBoyz I don't have any g12 device so I cannot tell for sure but many fixes for ethernet and audio have been upstreamed and you should see some improvement in that regard when they are integrated in the builds.

ukmark62 as far as I know Maxime - who wrote the hardware decoder implementation for mainline Amlogic - is working on an update for the decoder code. When it arrives - unfortunately I don't know when! - we will focus on tweaking the code to work better with "problematic" videos.

sasagr I looked at the source code, it works a bit different than my old builds... Try this: keep aml_autoscript on SD card but remove s805_autoscript from it. Then boot once with SD card inserted and use toothpick method. After this the box should be able to boot from internal again and no s805_autoscript on SD card would prevent box from booting from SD.
-
sasagr I don't know if it's included in these builds but you can prevent u-boot from trying to boot from SD card/any external media by resetting uenv variables to default values. Run this command: fw_setenv upgrade_step 1 and reboot. If you will ever want to boot from SD card again, you will need to use toothpick/reset method.

CoreELEC: 3.14 vendor kernel and API, most (if not all) hardware features working.
These builds: testing of Work-in-progress mainline Linux support for Amlogic. Some features missing: multichannel/passthrough audio, HDR, VC1 hardware decoding...
If you want things to "simply work", pick CE. If you like experimenting and want to help in bringing mainline support, use these builds.

mikmatcr Addons should work now.

Unfortunately the redirects have not been set yet on the community server and it's nothing I can do about it, sorry. You need to wait a few days.

Please don't notify me, I am only trying to give some support but I don't provide any builds.
