At this point the best way you could help me would be to download the soxhf.zip from a few posts earlier and install it. Then download the libm.so.zip from a more recent post and overwrite those two libraries with them. At that point you should be able to test from KUAL and see what formats work.

You could also via kterm do the ldd on all of the audio format support libraries and see which ones are missing what dependencies. You don't have to check the libsox libraries as they are fine.

Once we get my version up and running you can update your version to incorporate the proper HF versions for that release. I assume there is no way to issue a single release for both.

Thanks again for any help you can give me.

Yep, went to check and it turned out that 5.16.2.1.1 is indeed not yet a HF version, I've only attempted to install kterm-armhf, but it failed to launch. At least that explains why does the player work.

As for testing, I don't see any benefit in updating (yet, gotta buy one more Kindle first) and to speed things up I'd suggest using Tailscale together with @Hubris, it has a feature called "subnet routers" that will help you get direct access to the Kindle with HF firmware. @Hubris will have to configure Tailscale on their PC to route their local subnet to Tailscale, enable SSH over Wi-Fi and add your PC as a second team member. Once done, you'll be able to just ssh root@192.168.1.123 to their Kindle from your device and do the testing.
