Hm, nice setup. I have just used the "Power" section of Kodi and go to that and click "Exit Kodi" when I want to exit Kodi. It works just fine. Any reason for the very complex vbs solution? Kodi has it's own exit function. Now, the enter Kodi deal I feel you so much on. I use my center just as you do so I get really tired of having to open Kodi. :p But I use a CEC dongle to use my Samsung remote so my options are fairly limited. I'm okay with remoting the box from my phone and open up Kodi. The box restarts 3 in the morning and opens up Kodi by default, so most of the time, it's alright.. Sometimes I gotta launch it from the desktop. :|

Oh well. ^^

Man, I wish I could have an Echo.. They don't ship them to Denmark, from the UK or the DE store. It's terrible. I want the one with the smart hub built in. Would be awesome. Checking weekly, and it's just never arriving here it seems. Dunno why Amazon won't ship their own products outside of UK/DE when they do it with everything else. I'm jelly.

By the way Warner, do you have any intel on Team-Kodi's current stance on the likes of DSplayer implementation? I know that last time the offer was made to merge it into Kodi stable the Team said it was simply not good enough. I read some weeks ago, somewhere in the Leia threads, that Team-Kodi was doing a lot of changes in how the player was working. Do you think they'd possibly add in options to make it easier to implement 3rd party players and even utilizing 3rd party splitters, decoders and the likes? Sorta like leaving it in there and just have the platforms utilize it, that can. It's still the dream. I'm so scared we are not going to have DSplayer in Kodi in release 18.

 I actually use the Alexa Dot. It's much cheaper than the rest of the range and is identical to the more expensive products when it comes to implementing home automation.

The reason I have the close Kodi shortcut is purely for speed and simplicity and also because my kodi occasionally hangs when being closed down. I think it's caused by one of my Plug ins (Plex Kodi connect I think. Hugely recommended if you use Plex to manage your library) Either way if I'm watching Kodi and I decide for example I want to play a game, this way I simply press a button on my remote and an activity runs that instantly closes Kodi and opens steam. The same goes for watching a blu ray, Netflix, Amazon, Iplayer. I have shortcuts for everything on my harmony remote. I could manually navigate to the close Kodi option, but when you can do that and start the next thing you want to do with the press of a button, why wait?  

Honestly, the Harmony remote with hub and the amazon alexa were two of the best purchases I made for my Home theatre set up.

 Oh yeah? I'm currently looking at that Logitech Hub and Remote deal.. Hrmm..

No kidding, my Kodi hangs when I exit too sometimes. And I don't have any Plex integration. :| But yeah, then all I can do is force close it. I dunno what causes the hang at this point. It's inconsistent af. Meh.

Hm, but if I got the dot, or the Echo, I'd have to like.. Have another hub somewhere to control everything, correct? Alexa would only be able to fire off commands for the hub, and not actual hub commands, yes? What hub do you use? I'm all ears tbh. I don't know too much about automation yet.

You can find his last commit from Feb. 7 here: https://github.com/aracnoz/repository.dsplayer/commit/0812de2ac607f3046005d256d19044697fcb7f59.

This should also make future compiles much quicker.

I am new to DSPlayer and madVR - running great. Thanks.

One question - is it possible to move PGS subtitles? I would like to have the subtitles inside the picture not on the black bars. We have a projector with screen masking. 

Thanks.

I'm using Nvidia 1050 card with latest drivers. Output is going to JVC projector. Projector automatically goes to HDR mode so I'm guessing it has to something MadVr settings?
