Hi, i'm a supporter of Himedia, bought from 300A > Q5 > Q5ii > Q54k3d,
I love the quality of Q5 and satisfy with my Q5ii until recently changed to a new amp (Denon x2200) which support HD audio and upgraded to Q5 4K3D. I indeed have issue when using SMB (without password) to play with Himedia wrapper, just like to share after tons of google and finally found it's the "folder name" with special character which block the wrapper to play media correctly.
I'm now happily using Kodi 15.2 + HimediaWrapper to play the media which support simple blu-ray menu (BDMV source), HD Audio (all decoded including DTS-HD, TrueHD with Atmos). The drawback imho are below which still waiting if future Kodi supported.
1. Cannot download external subtitle with built-in player (workaround: play media with Kodi player and switch back to Himedia player once subtitle downloaded)
2. All my source (DD / DTS / HD audio) only has white noise if using Kodi player if i choose passthrough option), though it's a small issue as i already use Himedia player to play all media but still will be nice if anything to fix
3. When start the playback, the external player message with "Click OK when play back ended" appear (simply ignore), and need to click "OK" when playback end. (Nice if there's option to disable the pop-up)
