JustAnotherUser, as I noted in the review, don't let that list scare you... we've been deliberately nitpicky
. The SMB shares access has to do with password protected shares, which previous-gen Q's have had issue with, and same with Pro. All my usage w/Pro has been with non-password protected SMB shares w/o any issues. Occasionally Kodi will give you that annoying "Error 2 - Share Not Found" message, but I've seen this happen on other Android, OpenELEC and even Windows players. This is easily solved by manually adding your network share with smb://ip.address.of.server.
The audio (or lip-)sync error, frame-skips, and 3D flip-eyes not working are the most serious issues at this point. The PSU issue happened to my Q10 Pro sample when I first got it (unit seemed dead, didn't work for a while), but it hasn't been an issue since. As for mid-release April, HiMedia won't get all the kinks worked out, but in present state, it's mostly solid vs. not. Any relevant bugs should be fixable, I think/hope by Fall or so.
The DD+ issue looun noted above is not a huge deal IMHO. DD+ isn't that common, and Q10 Pro will at least decode to standard DD5.1. Still, it's on the issue tracker spreadsheet as proper DD+ bitstreaming should be supported.
The other thing is HiMedia hinted that the final production units (vs. the pre-release samples we beta-testers got) has a newer, improved h/w revision. No details provided yet as to which issues it potentially addresses.
And now we know the cost of Q10 Pro: $200.
