TIPS: I think that will be usefull changing the name of the post, stating, first, Q5 PRO custom firmware. To prevent confusion

We've not tested it, but HiMedia say that you should not flash Chinese firmware to international Q5/Q10 Pro or vice versa.

Certainly, with previous generation Q5/Q10 4K3D you could brick the box by flashing incorrect firmware.

Kodi should work. Just download it from the Kodi website. Current latest 16.1: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-16.1-Jarvis-armeabi-v7a.apk

Play Store will be more difficult to get working. I wouldn't know how.
