I did the SSH but didn’t understand the second part "and then give a dmesg log ", I have no idea what that is.

dmesg | paste

and provide the link. How to post debug logs

Regarding the transparent overlay where I have shifted the image, even more oddly, if I skip ahead or back, or pause and then resume, the overlay is gone for the first couple seconds, with everything rendering correctly, and then it pops back in.

That would be when the L5 trims is enabled a few seconds after using the gui. The shifting has probably messed where the L5 trims should be, can disable all L5 trims with

echo 0 > /sys/module/amvideo/parameters/L5_adjust_mode

but the metadata that is embedded may be visible, can also try

echo 2 > /sys/module/amvideo/parameters/L5_adjust_mode

which sets the L5 trim to only hide the metadata

Also iirc the “disable gui scaling” is not necessary anymore, but either way, I don’t see that option anywhere. I have settings on Expert, I don’t see that setting under Interface, System, System>Coreelec, or Coreele

It’s not necessary to set - because I hardcoded it to the required value and hide the option.

Coreelec on Odroid’s DV displays differently, elevated brightness/blacks in comparison. And in Black Doves e1 at 11 minutes on Coreelec, everything is crazy blown out with bad colors, also Blade 2 opening has weird extreme brightness and color shifts happening.

First I’ve heard of anything looking different than it is meant to, samples of the files please at those spots. Assuming that they are not P5 files, which isn’t supported. Yet…
