Can you help me?
We don't provide BIOS software that implements support for missing features, so probably not..

.. it's the kind of thing you'll have to try yourself to find out, staff won't have the hardware -
It looks like pipewire might be here to save us and get Hyperion working again. Routes video from Wayland.
Your incorrect assumption is that LE runs under Wayland. We don't, a) because it's not needed and we use GBM natively, b) if we did use Wayland we'd lose the ability to switch refresh rates to match media spec for the best playback experience.

Your personal "most important feature" is probably used by 0.00001% of Kodi users, and that's why it's not the default or on some kind of hot-button. Fortunately Kodi is an extensible and scriptable platform so you should be able to (with a little fiddling) toggle the sync-playback-to-display feature via a JSON API request which can be put into a shell script which is mapped to a spare remote button through a custom keymap. There's no HOWTO guide for doing exactly that I can point you to, but all the individual bits for doing that workflow are out there in wiki's and such.

You'll need to explain which device-tree file is being used and which WiFi/BT module is in the box - we (me) are not mind-readers.

Reboot instead of halt is possible. You might want to try current nightlies (not sure what 'latest' image you're using) as I've had reports that magically it started working there on some other boards.

I'm an hobbist and a bad developer, but I'll try. I'll try also to buy this board.
Chat to Da and he'll probably just send you one. Worst case feel free to acquire one and expense to LE via OpenCollective. We can always discuss that process more in Slack if needed.

LibreELEC is an intentionally simple distro but we should support all the normal bash scripting commands because we use the same things within the distro. Note that we use busybox for lots of things which can reduce command options. The full /usr/bin/vcgencmd binary exists in the image already.
For things like GPG and Dropbox we don't have any native capabilities and unless you want to build custom images that you added more packages to (do-able but probably more work than you're looking for as we build everything from source) the main escape route will be using Docker (installed as a Kodi add-on) to run a container that provides whatever binary that you're missing. You get bonus credit for authoring your own container that adds all the missing stuff in one container to avoid running loads of containers (overhead you don't need, and the one thing that's likely to result in high temps etc.).
NB: While I understand that some users like to monitor everything, the controlled and appliance-like nature of the distro also largely eliminates the scenarios where general purpose distros drift into bad shape over time requiring monitoring. LE is super lightweight and highly optimised for Pi hardware and with normal movie watching duties the only thing that's needed for avoiding high temp and under-volt scenarios is a half-decent passive or fan-cooled case and the official PSU. I've managed enough infrastructure over time myself to understand the inner need to monitor, but watching movies is more fun

ISTR it's not functional unless "sync playback to display" is enabled .. and for general best results with Kodi on a normal TV you want to leave that setting disabled.

That patch is included in the newer kernels used in LE12 nightlies, so updating will make the harmless but user confusing message go away..
-
I'd update to current nightly images (LE11 or L12) as there are some improvements that might be relevant.
-
I use the update option in the settings for Libreelec so i think it will choose the right one.
Nope. It will only see that you're using the Generic image and give you the default image which is non-Legacy. You'll need to do a manual update via SSH.

ilmich have a chat with Da Xue in Slack. If there's a way to do this he'll be interested to help.

HDMI CEC control is almost universally supported on ARM SoC hardware devices like Raspberry Pi boards (hence lots of references to it in our forums) but very rarely supported on x86_64 hardware. So are you 100% sure the GPU supports CEC?
-
An issue I see with LE12: If I scroll in a stream (e.g. ARD Mediathek), the player freezes immediately and sound stops somewhat later. But maybe that is also a settings issue, I just used the default config, I just configured wifi.
I'd guess this is an HEVC stream because seeking in H264 generally works well and HEVC is mostly play/stop/no-seek .. depending on the underlying media stream (some stuff I have seeks fine, most isn't so good though) as the HEVC decoder needs work.

Overclocking instructions for RPi3 are generally applicable for CM3 too. I used to run some moderate OC with my Slice box, though that's so long ago now that I can't recall the actual details of the options used.

Start by telling us what binaries or data you need and we can give some specific advice on how to get them. There is deliberately no way to install deb/rpm packages in the OS but that's not necessarily the end of the story.
-
LE deliberately blocks web browsing and browser download from the add-on repo because there's an ecosystem of downstream or parallel codebase forks out there and we need to avoid the support activity that comes from users trying to run our binary add-ons on something not designed to run them. The best and largely only way to browse the repo is .. from the Kodi GUI.

The next planned update will be K21 beta 2, which I guess will be soon-ish.
