Is it correct that the new Matrix builds for Wetek Play 2 will not support the internal tuner?
Yes correct. There are out-of-tree but should be usable demod and tuner drivers, but a V4L2 demux driver (which binds everything together) needs to be written and so far nobody has stepped up to do the job. Availink (who create the demod) were thinking about it at one point, but they've been quiet since last summer so .. no idea.
Dodo fix NTP in your network and then time is correct and SSL certificate start dates will become valid.
I think you need to dig into udev (udevadm) to see what information it has on the drive and thus perhaps why it's not matching the mount rules
No idea .. but seeing as it's very low effort to experiment and find out .. you can let us know.
"journalctl | paste" and share the URL
Put the file in /storage/.kodi/media/splash.png and restart Kodi (or reboot).
Run "dmesg | paste" and look for errors when the automount attempts to mount the drive. If the mount state is 'dirty' you may need to fsck the drive first to clear the flag before automount can succeed.
Just change the screensaver to "Black" then the GUI is only visible when you're actually navigating the GUI which is an overall small(er) percentage of total on-screen time (movies and TV will be visible for a lot longer). If you're in high paranoia mode .. reduce the wait time from 3 mins. I have mine set to 2 mins. I found 1 mins got a little annoying..
LE is focussed on simple client access to Kodi. However we are open-source and our build-system is pretty simple to figure out so you're welcome to build a customer image where the kernel has additional modules enabled for Docker swarms support. If the resulting increase in KERNEL image size is small .. tell us how much and we may consider a pull-request on GitHub to add support to the core distro. If no pull-request comes and/or the file-size increase is large then we're happy your custom image works for you, but this is a niche requirement and it's not needed for the other 99.9999% of our userbase. Does that sound fair?
LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-wetek-play2.img.gz <= now boots u-boot 2021.01 from SD card .. the only weird thing is I need to configure Kodi audio fixed 44.1KHz output else there is no audio. The image needs vendor u-boot to be erased from emmc first (else it always boots from emmc). If anyone wants to experiment you should back-up emmc first so it can be restored later if you'd prefer.
Cable connected to the wrong port? .. must use the port nearest the power connector.
You can see how you get on with LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-box.img.gz .. If you stick to 1080p content it should be quite usable, but 4K is still a bit hit/miss and no HDR or HEVC support (S905X3 can s/w decode HEVC to 1080p). You need to edit the dtb name in extlinux.conf to match the device-tree file you choose, there is an experimental one for X96-Air 2G/4G devices.
spinecho Anything with Kodi Krypton will not support S905X3 devices. You can go forwards (Matrix) but not back.
Let's see after the team call 
Sounds like we need a team call then .. because previous/current plan is to not release formal images 
This is how to fake the HDMI connection: EDID - LibreELEC.wiki
I'd guess the IPTV source changed something (as nothing changed on your end). Most IPTV services are pirate services so the operation may have been taken down .. in which case we don't care much for your problem. In the unlikely event it was a non-pirate service sharing a proper debug log via pastebin might be more revealing than the few lines you posted.
Squeezebox is not a LibreELEC add-on so best to post in the add-on support thread in Kodi forums.
