LE is very-much using in-tree (upstream kernel) drivers and not out-of-tree (vendor) drivers.

Use an HDMI audio break-out box to extract stereo audio for RCA outputs; or perhaps S/PDIF if the Amp has a digital input.

Enable "adjust refresh" (start/stop) and "refresh rate doubling" then configure the whitelist for 1080p @ 60/59.94/50/24/23.976 modes.

I think it's brilliant when pirate shitware doesn't run on our OS. No further support.

^ this is in the Kodi log.

^ this is in the kernel log. In my experience this sort of error message points to disk corruption, and with SSDs the main reason for that is cell errors (integrity problems in the memory chips) from a drive that's starting to fail.

Do we have to blindly guess at the problem, or are you giong to provide a full debug logfile?

The pass file probably needs "chmod 600" perms to skip that warning (but it's only a warning not an error). The other errors are fatal and it clearly doesn't see the files or there's something like a space in the filename or path.

The AMLGX "box" image has "meson-gxm-mecool-kiii-pro.dtb" .. but do not rename it to dtb.img as the AMLGX boot process is different. You can read more on that here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic

Sample clips so we can repeat the issue (or prove it's something local to your device) are useful. Pictures of artefacts aren't useful. I suspect it's something unusual about the media because stats show a stable and increasing number of C2 boards running the image and while I've deliberately tried to set people's expectations low since there are missing things and it's not perfect, I'm surprised (and pleased) at the overall lack of user issues being reported.

The error you posted suggests you're running the wrong Generic image (as stated already). As for the external grabber; no idea. I have never used Hyperion and have no interest in it. I'm just pointing out that GBM graphics does not support it at all.

There were some issues with installing add-ons from the LE repo when LE11 first launched but those have been resolved now. What add-ons are you trying to install, and from which repo?

I have recollection that some of the early iterations of the S905 have silicon bugs which can result in artefacts; back in 2016 the folks behind WeTek made a big deal out of their boxes only using revised silicon with fixes, but I forget the specifics now.

If you can share sample clips of media with artefacts I'd be interested in testing/comparing with a C2 and WP2; although my C2 is from one of the last production batches so might also have later S905 silicon. I don't see any issues with 1080p H264 on a WP2 box the kids use, and seek works well. HEVC shouldn't have playback issues but does have some known seek issues (as stated in release notes). SMB vs. NFS shouldn't make any difference (unless using over WiFi, which is always rubbish for streaming).

You are using the Generic (GBM/V4L2) image which does not support Hyperion. You would need to crossgrade to the Generic-Legacy image which still uses X11 windowing. Crossgrade will require you to uninstall any binary add-ons that depend on OpenGLES, then clean the local package cache, before 'updating' to Generic-Legacy and reinstalling OpenGL compatible versions.

In the long-term the X11 image will be discontinued (GBM is the future technical direction) so you might want to think about adapting your Hyperion setup to use an external HDMI grabber.

All of the "errors" you are showing log snippets from are harmless and simply the result of code probing to find a DRM device and setting up the initial OpenGLES context. It would be more useful to show us the entire logfiles (run "pastekodi" and share the URL). This will also show the cmdline/config txt files where you probably used legacy options that don't work on LE10+ graphics.

Kodi does not support downgrades; so if you want to do that, expect a clean-install or some manual fiddling with files to drop changes that were added in K20.

Changing the folder/filenames to match the upstream data in thetvdb often resolves issues. So I would use this:
