I did, confirmed in post #1195.

They are all running flawlessly on 8.1.0 though, amazing work as always!
My old 6.1.0 devices have been running rock solid for so long I had
barely even paid them attention other than that they played my music in
the home or remotely while out and about.  I've been meaning to donate
for a while, going to sling some cash your way as it is well deserved.

Confirmed the same issue with my Pi2.  I also tried the switch to mirror
in the bottom right of Main and no success again.  I also went back and
tried both on an ethernet wired and wireless setup, just in case
something odd was going on there, using both inbuilt RPi wifi and
working USB wifi adapters, but same situation.  I have yet to try a Pi4
but do have one sitting in my drawer I was going to use for something
else but will test that as well shortly and see if anything differs, for
both 32 and 64bit.

No, I get green ticks on Internet, DNS, and piCore repo.  But the
piCorePlayer main repo and mirror repos both show red crosses.  I hadn't
realised there was a tab in the bottom right of the main page, however I
was trying to manually select the repo in the extensions page and both
of them showed inaccessible there, though the piCore Main repo always
showed accessible.  I tried multiple reboots too, and left the device
running a while in case it was just settling down, but nothing changed
with that either.  The only thing I cannot try right now is on another
network entirely as my work are too locked down for that, but I can try
at a friend's at some point to confirm.  Would be odd if my network
though, as 6.10, 8.0.0, and 8.10 were all fine no matter how I
configured my home DNS and routing, and I can directly access the repo
page from all other devices on the same network.  I noticed a few other
people had reported similar issues and that they mysteriously went away
after a while, so it seems a bit hard to track down.  I have dd cloned
my card states, so if you need any testing done or more detailed logs I
can easily swap out for that.

I am doing a fresh install of 8.2.0, having been on 6.1 for ages.  I
have had exactly the same issues as you.  Installed fine but, while it
insists that my Internet and DNS are fine and it can contact the picore
repo, both the picoreplayer main and mirror repo are reported as
inaccessible.  I already have a static IP set, I have tried a bunch of
alternative DNS, I have tried some tweaks on how I route out of my
network, and no success.  I can install extensions from the picore repo
with no issue, but nothing works for the picoreplayer repos.  I can ping
and traceroute to them with no issue from an SSH session on the Pi
itself, and I can access the repo directly from my desktop which has
identical routing and DNS to the Pi.  I have even tried rebooting my
router even though I didn't expect that to change anything.  Still no
access to picoreplayer repos.  I did this all over again with the 64bit
version, having tried 32bit to start (am on a Pi3B+).  Still no success.
Downloaded and installed 8.0.0 instead and it immediately works.  I
have gone back and also tested all the differing networking setups I did
to try and resolve it under 8.2.0, and every single one worked for 8.0.0
with no further actions needed by me.  I also then tried 8.1.0 and that
also worked without issue, can access the repos and install updates.  I
tried an in-situ upgrade from 8.1.0 to 8.2.0 which succeeded however I
then immediately lost access to the repos again.  Reinstalled 8.1.0 and
it was working again.  So I can only conclude that there is either
something wrong somewhere with the 8.2.0 build or it has changed
something fundamental to the way it works that causes issues with
people's network setups that worked perfectly on previous versions.
