I too planned to use this device for movie watching over HDMI.... Yet another data point that proves DRM is a cancer that ironically only hurts legitimate paying customers by denying experiences such as the valid one described here. This why i go back to the sea, Pay for the service but torrent the content guilt free. 🏴‍☠️

I took the liberty of spliting out the technical discussion of the HDMI stuff. You will find those posts here:

If one would pull on their tinfoil cap for just a moment, the combination of an unreasonably large cable connector combined with "a proprietary app or two" from a no-name chinese cable manufacturer sounds like a great way to do many shady things 😁

Replying to my own question: Seems like it doesn't look very good for HDMI-out on the Pro1X, at least when it comes to alternative OS's. Unsurprisingly, I can confirm that my all-in-one UGREEN USB-C dock, which works flawlessly with the Pro1, does nothing regarding HDMI when connected to the Pro1X (also Ethernet does not work with the X btw ...). After a bit of reading, I wonder whether the solution that was presented during development of the Pro1X is actually using any native "HDMI-out" features of the SoC. Rather, it seems to implement an MHL interface and needs a proprietary APK

Ok it sounds like it has possibilities might just need to change how I do things a bit. I'm not completely stuck in my ways 🙂 (saying the person who has his windows 10 desktop looking like windows 98 haha)
