Great review indeed.
You mentioned a lot of important things
It looks this box plays everything (in considering atmos does work with the patch with another box)
However...
You said:
Player menu/UI is bloated with useless (at least for most of us) Chinese content apps
--> we dont need this if you start immediately in kodi right? so no problem
When playing videos via Kodi, you sometimes briefly see HiMedia wrapper app in between (so, not as seamless an experience); takes 5-10 seconds (sometimes a bit more) to cue up and play the actual video
--> This is a bit of a pity, any way to get rid of it? Although i think its normal we see it
With HiMedia player, after video ends, it automatically plays next (instead of stopping and going back to Kodi)
--> This is sad, so if i press in kodi play movie, after its ended, it plays another one? and not going back to kodi? very strange this, and this i dont like
No watched flag in Kodi with external player being used
--> this is something kodi related?
Kodi locks up sometimes, especially when doing multiple things at once (like navigating around while updating library)
--> Thats annoying too
On very importing thing, you said, any version of kodi is supported, so we are not dependant on himedia for next kodi update? The wrapper will ALWAYS work with any kodi future version?
Are you gonna give up on vidon player and even mede8er player?
How about kodi's own player for 2d movies? Flawless?
Can you set up to use kodi for everything else but 3d and use himediawrapper for 3d only?
