Some feedback from @chwe and some improvements on the protection circuitry:
 

 
And for the record, electrical cleaner can/will dissolve your electrical connectors...   Also, lead-free solder is an angry and terrible thing.  ;-)
 
I'm charging my Pixel off of one of the power ports while I play music over bluetooth on the Tinker...  

I will rebuild those images ASAP.

I fixed some u-boot bug, happening in boards with 1GB of RAM, that could not load u-boot. Here is the console log with the failure:

RK3328 MEDIA TESTING SCRIPT
 
This is the first release of the RK3328 media testing script. The script provides a functionality similar to its RK3288/3399 equivalents, except for the OpenCL related stuff, which is not supported by the SoC. So it includes:
Installing all the libraries and system configurations necessary for GPU accelerated X desktop, Chromium WebGL, full VPU video play acceleration up to 4k@60 10-bit HEVC (the maximum supported by the SoC), and GLES 2.0 support. Three video players supporting full VPU acceleration (RKMPP) and KMS display (GBM or a X11 DRM "hack", as described by the authors), namely: MPV, Gstreamer and Kodi. A library that will act as an OpenGL to OpenGL-ES wrapper, allowing you to run programs that use OpenGL 1.5-2.0. Two additional features, that have no big interest from the Armbian development prospective, but I find them interesting to play with: Chromium browser with support for Flash and DRM-protected commercial web video streaming (tested with Amazon Prime, should also work with Netflix, Hulu, etc.), and a simple Pulseaudio GTK equalizer using LADSPA.

Notes:
This script is not officially supported by the Armbian project. It is just a community effort to help the development of the main build, by experimenting with a possible implementation of the media capabilities of this particular SoC. Therefore, questions about the script should not be laid out as support requests, but as commentaries or community peer-to-peer assistance. That being said, all commentaries/suggestions/corrections are very welcome. In the same way, I will do my best to help solve any difficulty that may arise regarding the script.  
Enjoy!

Okay, so just to avoid hijacking this thread, we can continue the discussion about this in a new one. I'll tag you when I start it. I'm very interested in this topic too.

So the Media Script is finally released:
 

Yes, I noticed that if you launch it just like "kodi", it won't start here, unlike the RK3399 where it worked.
 
The cause seems to be that "standard" mali midgard T86x binaries have the necessary GBM symbols that Kodi uses, while in the case of utgard 450 you need to use the specific binaries for GBM.
 
Solution: launch it in one of these two ways:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/libmali-gbm kodi or:
kodi-gbm-wrapper  

Congratulations, great job.
 
Quick check on MVR9
the browser now shows videos in full screen all up to 4K, the only limitation is the channel in the Internet.
MPV-also shows everything in full screen
KODI -  not yet started up, complains that it is impossible to create the GUI (this is not critical, KODI is LE, everything works)
I haven't checked the rest yet.
 
 

Installed on rockpro64 and bash ran flawlessly, everything's seems to have installed and all desktop links created for applications, unfortunately seems that script was unable to override something, all apps run as if nothing had been done no streaming, mpv works same as before and Kodi does close x but breaks system when trying to run kodi, I'll try to upload log scripts 2morrow, hope whatever is missing shows up there.

Tinkerboard "Next" Stretch and Bionic images available for download using kernel 4.19.
 
Notable changes include the use of device tree overlays.

I was very pleased with Gstreamer. ON 4K TV, you can scale any video to any size on your desktop. (now can use any player or write your own). 
 
Now I test different videos in MPV Gstreamer KODI and browser on TV 4K (4096х2160), impressive performance RK3399 .

It's baking in the oven... 

Yes, it runs fulscreen with no mouse support. You can control it with a remote control via LIRC, or with the keyboard. Arrows, space, Q for quit and shift-Q for save position and quit. "man mpv" will give you the whole list of controls.
 
Well, the wrapper is a very basic implementation, meant to stop nodm, which is the default Armbian DM. If you are using lightdm instead, you must edit the file "/usr/local/bin/kodi-gbm-wrapper" 
 
Or just do it manually: Ctrl+alt+F1, "sudo service lightdm stop", "kodi"

Again, I would appreciate if anyone with a RockPro64 can test Kodi with the stable kernel (the image you get from the Armbian Download page).
 
For those with a different board, remember to update to nightly kernel.
