WETEK Media Player seems to be working better indeed. HD audio passthrough is ok. I hadn't understood KODI and WMP were independent from each other. I thought they were working together.
With WMP, I have some stutters, looks like 24p / 23.976p judder.
Otherwise, PQ is good with this device. Better than NVIDIA shield in my opinion.

I'm testing further the hub, and I encounter the android bug I expected. This is common to all the KODI versions (SPMC/WMP too) I've tried on all my android devices.
Kodi crashes each time I try to update the library.
My medias are organized this way:
2 NAS (DLINK DNS-323) wich 2 HDD in each.
All 4 HDD's have a folder were I put my movies inside, with a subfolder for each one.
All 4 HDD's have a folder where I put all my TV shows, with subfolders named after the TV show, those folders hold subfolders for each season.
Movie library update crashes, but not TV Show library update. So I guess the problem has something to do with the media scrapper used for movies.
I've tried naming my folders and subfolders many different ways to guess where the problem is coming from.
I've narrowed it to this: if I create a folder with subfolders for movies, then it crashes on update. I've tried to name folders with or without special characters, it crashes anyway.
If I create a folder with files directly put in it (no subfolder), then it works.
With the folder\subfolders structure, as soon as I remove subfolders and put the movies in the parent folder, it stops crashing (I don't need to change scrapping options, Kodi finds the movies).
So the problem definitely occurs when I try to update movie library (movie scrapper), with films stocked in subfolders "m:\movies\nameofthemovie", with or without any special characters (has nothing to do with the crash), via samba shares.
I've also tested two different movie scappers, they crash both on updating.
Library updates work flawlessly with LibreElec on the Hub.

However, I do know that the WeTek firmware that is using Android 5 (current stable) only makes mount points for 2 drives. Android 6 fixes the problem, but I don't have an ETA on that for the Hub.
Any luck with accessing the files on the Mediasonic 4 bay enclosure Ned?
It doesn't see anything at all, regardless of how many drives are installed. I'm not sure why. I'm not to worried about it because I'm hearing good things from the Android 6 effort, which should take care of the issue with mounting multiple drives. Hopefully that works out.

This > 2 HDD's mount problem is an Android Lollipop OS issue.
I would almost be 100% certain a Linux based OS like LibreELEC will have no issues whatsoever.

Hi Ned,
If this is the case, is it possible to test the Mediasonic 4 bay enclosure against the LibreElec version of the Wetek Hub and see if it works? Or it's got something to do with the Hub's firmware?
I can't get LE to see any drives either, but I think I have some modified firmware loaded on the Probox. It's been a long time since I used it last. I'll have to see if I can get everything back to factory settings on the Probox and try again.
