You can explore "connmanctl" options

Amlogic does not provide a V4L2 driver for any of their current hardware. In the long-term they will probably write one for their next generation AX chips but I doubt they will ever spend $$ to create one for the current GX series. To support GX era chips the focus will be an FFmpeg module which allows Kodi to handle rendering while FFmpeg deals with decoding - this is how the Rockchip RKMPP pipeline is being implemented.
At the moment i'm experimenting with a WeTek Hub on 4.14 kernel, but mostly to find/fix build system quirks and ensure the mainline device trees are correct. I can look at the Kodi GUI, but there is only software decoding, which isn't practical for real-world use.

HiSilicon appears to have reasonable mainline kernel support and we are always interested in seeing LE run on new hardware, but so far nobody in the community leapt at the opportunity to spend lots of hours figuring out how to make that happen. The current dev team has its hands full so for HiSilicon support to happen someone needs to volunteer themselves. If not we'll get there eventually.. but no timescales.

For early boot messages you'll need a UART cable connected to the UART header pins on the PCB; assuming the board has the header installed (if not, some pins can be soldered). None of the current "devices" in our buildsystem use Mali400 so that may also require some plumbing changes.

The mistake most people make is tweaking things in the master branch instead of a local 'topic' branch. If you use a topic branch it becomes simple to fetch our "upstream" changes and rebase your modifications against the latest changes. If you tweak in our master branch, each time we modify the same file(s) you end up having to manually reapply them.

Anyhow without a mainline support for OpenGL (either close or open source) it is of no use for Kodi
There are some progress for Mali400 GPU, but it would cover only some of the allwinner SoC
The lima driver has some early support for Mali450 now but it's far too early to get excited. Meanwhile, towards the end of last year Allwinner gave Free Electrons permission to redistribute libMali blobs for some SoC(s). Permission implies the blobs have been licensed, which was not previously clear and thus prevented distro's like LE from using them in anything public.

If you are using Kodi on a Samsung phone you are not running Kodi on LibreELEC and you are in the wrong forum.

there must be basic diagrams out there somewhere.
If you pay a subcontract manufacturer to add 10k units to someone else's production run it saves you $$ and you don't need documentation. That's a common situation for some of the MXQ units that end up on cheap websites. That also assumes the original designer came up with proper docs in the first place, which is also a bad assumption.

The mangled names function in Samba was deprecated aeons ago so it's not the solution. You have two choices:
a) Investigate the "catia" vfs module which can map the illegal : character into something legal
b) Rename files so they don't use the illegal : character

As a general rule the scrapers in Kodi improve over time so if things work in older releases and fail in newer ones it's usually because some bug has been fixed that doesn't allow you to get away with previous shoddy working practices
Please consider creating an account on thetvdb.com and add missing info/shows instead of creating local nfo files. Then in the future any time you need to re-scrape the info it exists. As is often the case, a little preparation time invested up-front saves effort at some future point.

Not possible because the Amlogic device wtih dual HDMI output doesn't exist. Just use a splitter and set the TV volume to zero so you only hear output from the AVR.

Kodi doesn't support audio input from physical connectors so even if you find a box you won't be able to use those connectors. If you actually mean output then get a Raspberry Pi with some kind of audio 'hat' card, there's loads to choose from.

It is known and updates should correct this in the next couple of days.

Linux (LE) and Android require different options in their kernels. You will not be able to make one kernel and share it between both OS.

I have a dozen addons installed with real debrid and Gaia.
^ You are now barred from all support in this forum

The file in our image is a dummy. We do not (and will not, ever) supply real KEYDB.cfg files. Go look around on Google.
