Good news. 
Version ArmbianTV 20230716-video with support for video cards connected as in a regular PC to the PCIe connector. I have tested several video cards that I have. Here is part of the results. You don't need to do anything manually, just connect the video card, turn on the system and get acceleration. For example, I watch a full-screen 1080p video in the player.
