Congrats
! Generic vs. generic-legacy doesn't affect the interface to your TV. It's just a different window manager (GDM GBM vs. X11).

We are currently switching to 64 bit on LE 12, and you see the preparation of the add-on part.
-
Also, I did GUI update, so I think it updated to generic image, could legacy image help? Also, can I update to legacy without any problems?
If the update went from generic-legacy to generic, then it's a bug.
You should see the LE variant on the system info screen.
If it's not legacy, put the legacy image into .update folder by using wget, and reboot. That shouldn't cause problems, and hopefully fixes your Netflix problem.

That YT hack is doable, and worth the effort. Good luck!

Or create a /storage/.config/autostart.sh script containing the startup command.

In fact I’m thinking of bringing it back downstairs 😂
Because of the Windows driver it's a tinker project. I would solder connectors onto the speaker contacts to avoid that driver.
With a frequency switch you could also use the subwoofer. If you don't want to invest the time, bring it back downstairs.

Yep, the Magic 100 is one of the best DAC's you can get, and it's known to work with LE. I mentioned the UMC22 in case you want to connect the Bose speakers to a cheaper DAC that just works.

I'm using a Behringer UMC22 with my RPi3B+. Works out-of-the-box.

This guy seemed confident he had the issue resolved but didn't mention what model RPI he was using. Both the RPI3b+ and the Bose Companion 5 are USB2.00 devices. This really is a curious one. https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=15872
The guy mentioned a quirks file for the kernel. If that file is missing, your quirk alias has no effect.
I suggest to try the same on Raspberry Pi OS. Maybe LE doesn't have that quirks file.

If you're coming from LE 9.x, you'll notice a smoother GUI now.

I search more powerful hardware to watch 2160p HEVC vids.
You mentioned to need a browser. Then x86 hardware (Intel NUC) is the way to go.
-
Currently the only way is installing LE Generic-legacy on x86, which supports the Chrome browser add-on.

i am sorry, this does not help finding a solution..
This means you have to compile your own driver, until it's in-tree.

Make sure the HDMI cable is conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1. That's needed for 4K data transfer.
-
But now I want the the analoge audio from the TV pass through the PI to the USB output of the PI.
My amplifier is only equipped with a USB connector.
So what you want is a high-quality A/D converter. I don't think going over RPi is the best solution, because it requires audio mixing.
I suggest to buy a USB audio interface.

Read the forum rules. Banned add-ons -> no support.

Should I try rpi-update in case my firmware is out of date on this RPI3?
Seems when I ssh into LE, the usual commands don't work (apt update/upgrade, sudo, rpi-update)
No. LE always supplies the needed firmware version during installation.
