Auto SDR / 4K HDR - HD audio capable LibreELEC /CoreELEC - with inbuilt Gigabit Ethernet:
- any AML S912 devices with naturally GigaE like the Beelink GT1, Tanix TX9 (click), H96 Pro. Cheap devices must be running Android Nougat onwards.
- Vero 4K+
- MINIX U9

I would never discount what the clever Open Source - Linux ARM GPU driver guru devs. have cooking. We are a year away from Kodi v19 M.
Android Kodi v19 M onwards will still continue to work, and currently v18 Leia is pretty snappy on the S912's, especially when you tweak the Mali-T820 GPU MHz clock on the Android S912's using Magisk and the AMLogic Tool Apps.
I'll get an SD card prepped and see how it fares with all I can throw at it. That way I can give it decent work out in Android as well as with CoreElec, although I anticipate running CE full time. I installed to internal on my U1s.
I've never heard of the AMLogic Tool Apps. With the mention of Magisk should I assume the device would need to be routed? Maybe not something I would do until it is a year old at least. However should the Open Source S912 community not have a working solution a year from now, I may venture into it at that time.
Thanks for all your informative posts @wrxtasy . I've read many entire threads, especially the Start Here and some of the hardware specific ones, as well as several over at LibreElec. Appreciate you sharing your considerable expertise with us. A very Merry Christmas to you!
