What exactly were the "couple of config changes" you needed to do to get RPiOS running?
Both RPiOS and LE should run out-of-the-box (and actually they do here and for most users). Without knowing what your changes were, which TV/monitor you are using etc there's not much we can do about it.

/flash can never be unmounted but the message is not visible with a working reboot. No idea why it is hanging.
A driver crash can often lead to reboot hanging - if kernel is in a messed-up state driver may not shutdown cleanly and block forever (had that a couple of times with other drivers).

Yes, the config.txt HDMI/EDID settings have no effect in LE10 - that's now all handled by kernel/DRM drivers.
The easiest way to install a permanent edid is to connect the TV, boot LE and then run "getedid create" (like on x86) - that'll dump the edid to a file and perform the neceessary config steps.

You can configure the GPIO in the gpio-shutdown dtoverlay, then you can use one button connected to that GPIO for power-off and another one on GPIO 3 for power on.

You don't need rpi-tools, just use the gpio-shutdown dtoverlay and a button connected to GPIO 3 and GND.
See /flash/overlays/README for more details.

Thanks for the report. I could reproduce the issue and have informed the RPi video codec developer.
We've got reports of similar (but less pronounced) issues before and ATM it's a bit mysterious what exactly is going wrong - but there's definitely a bug somewhere and it'll be looked into.
BTW: as a temporary workaround you can disable "allow hardware acceleration with DRM PRIME" in settings->player-videos in LE10, then the file plays fine, too (with software decoding).

Is it possible to set the Raspi to boot from USB at startup and not to search for the sd card first?
You can do that by changing the bootloader's BOOT_ORDER setting to 0xf14 or 0xf4. On LE10 beta you can simply use "rpi-eeprom-config --edit" to change that.
Read through the official RPi docs for more info:

I can't seem to download this file is it offlilne?
Just use the latest official beta version, it includes all HDR changes.
I've removed the old testbuilds to avoid confusion and they are heavily outdated now as well.

Did you by chance change gpu_mem in config.txt? If yes: don't do that, keep it at the default of 76 or you will experience crashes - LE10 needs lots of CMA memory, not GPU memory.

I can reproduce forced reboot after jump/skipping backwards 2-3 times on a h265 remux files, I remember there was issues with jumping so maybe this is known?
Was that a file with a TrueHD audio track?
There are a couple of known issues with TrueHD in kodi, see eg here Crash while seeking video with TrueHD audio · Issue #16096 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

Crackling audio is a known issue with H264 hardware decoding, adding audio_pwm_mode=1 to config.txt will fix that but result in lower audio quality.

Have fresh installed LE 9.2.6 on RPi3 and RPi4. Configured the same "for loop" script in autostart.sh on both setups.
Oddly, it only worked on RPi4.
I just had a look and, yes, it won't work on LE 9.2/RPi0-3 which uses the legacy graphics driver.
In order to save a bit of memory the console is unbound and the framebuffer reconfigured to 1 pixel size (via an ugly hack in kodi). This was added in ancient times and I completely forgot we had that in LE...
RPi4 on LE9 and also RPi2-4 on LE10 don't use the legacy graphics stack so /dev/console will work fine there.

Nothing unusual in the logs, no idea what's going wrong.
The script worked fine when I tested it on my LE 9.2.6 RPi4.
I'd suggest testing with a direct echo to the console with kodi stopped. eg "echo hello > /dev/console"

Check the journal or stop kodi ("systemctl stop kodi"), run the script manually and watch out for errors.

Still, it is supposed to work or the RPi4 would not come with analog output. it only happens on greater than 1080p videos and disabling HW acceleration makes it work. In previous versions had to disable deinterlacing to make it work.
These are all known limitations. See also this recent thread kodi-rpi 19.1-4 crackling audio on analog output (jack)
You can avoid the crackling by adding audio_pwm_mode=1 to config.txt - but that will result in lower quality audio output.
If you want decent analog audio output invest 10-30 bucks in an I2S DAC HAT.

Thanks for the report!
There was a configuration issue on our CI which has been fixed now, new RPi2 nightly builds should be back tomorrow.

What exactly is not working?
BTW: also check the journal (run "journalctl -a"), if there's an error in the script or if one of the programs prints to stderr you should see it there.

See WIP: Include LFE mixing setting by fritsch · Pull Request #18495 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub - let's hope it'll find it's way into kodi.
