Does anyone know if this is being developed again?

Nope. No developer at this time.

Hello I have problem with Kodi DSplayer seems now that advancedsettings.xml is ignorred or the caching and buffer options were irrelevant to the Kodi dsplayer.

I need Kodi for plexbmc server over the internet and I need big buffer, because of kodi programming limitations the maximal amount that kodi could store in memory is 1000mb of forward cache.
Second solution is to use which I'm using now and its working ok in Kodi jarvis 16.1
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>0</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>1000</readbufferfactor>
</network>

</advancedsettings>


Above settings works great in the normal Kodi jarvis 16.1 but with the Kodi dsplayer version everything is ignored.
Not only that its ignored but network loading is much slower at least 3 times than with the normal Kodi.

Is there solution.

Hmm seems everything is done with the lav splitter now, but its very
sluggish and question is will it allow 4096MBof buffer with aggressive network loading.
With ping 40ms on 30mbit it needs 20 seconds to punch the load to a full speed, I could try haali splitter to see how aggressive network load is with the haali.

Also as I see Kodi dsplayer is not aware of a buffer neither it show any info about buffer or where is the position of a buffer or how forward is the buffer.
I see Kodi memory footprint is rising which means that buffer is rising.
Also because of 32bit programming of Kodi dsplayer and lav splitter question is which is the maximal amount of the buffer in memory till the crash.


Ok the question is following, did someone tested which are the best setting
for a Lav Splitter "maximum queue memory", "maximum queue packets" and "stream analysis duration"?

Also how to force Kodi dsplayer to recognize buffer and to show on the load line that there is a buffer?

something than the default is the best, or go post your question on Doom9's forum

aracnoz didn't want to bother with a DSPlayer buffer. Whatever you get with LAV Splitter Source is all DSPlayer can offer.

Kodi DSplayer memory crash occurs after 3.679.000K memory.

Shame I have 24gb of memory and I cant use it for Kodi Dsplayer at full capacity..

Did aracnoz made some 64bit versions?

No, Kodi as a whole is still 32-bit today.

I wonder if we could/should try to start a ransom model to attract a Windows developer to move this to Kodi 17. I am referring to crowdsourcing a certain amount of money that gets unlocked once a developer steps up and moves DSPlayer to Kodi 17. Just a thought...

I think you'd be disappointed with how little money you'd raise. aracnoz said he could count on one hand the number of people who donated when he was in charge.

U're probably right. It is a shame knowing that all ppl using it just donating 4 or 5$ would make a nice amount.
I'm willing to donate as I did before, but if it is going nowhere...

Hello everyone. First off I want to say that I really love how this is set up to use mpc-hc as the primary player. With that said I am having problems with audio. I am on 2.1 setup and I am having problems with audio across the board. I am unsure how to set it up so that audio will play with the same sound levels with 2, 5.1, 7.1 etc. Some audio is very muffled while others play what sounds correctly to me. Also I am getting syncing issues at times it seems. I would appreciate if any one could help me with this problem.

Use Sanear, which is linked in the set up guide at the end of the filters section. Install it somewhere on your computer and choose if from DSPlayer settings.

BTW, DSPlayer is its own media player; it is not MPC-HC.

I've been very active on this thread (relatively speaking), you have written one of the best guides ever (it's good for any DirectShow based player, really), would you be interested in organizing this together? Just trying to do it. The way ransom model works, nothing is lost, it's not Kickstarter. If nobody steps up to the plate and delivers a working Kodi 17 DSPlayer no one spends a dime, if I remember correctly.
We could be the "judges" deciding if and when to unlock the ransom and towards whom? What do you think?

I hate to see this go without a fight.

Edit:

We would need to find a service on the web providing the following:

1) Let people pledge money toward a working Kodi 17 DSPlayer.
2) See if developer(s) step up to collect the reward.
3) When/if the desired result is reached allow us to release the money collected to the delivering developer.

I am not entirely sure something like this exists, to be honest.

[gotham_x]

I think that would be an excellent initiative, at rightly , so good demonstration of good will, both on our part DSPlayer users, to adopt a system to do "die" DSPlayer.

I think that '"I" should be omitted, but in the end, I understand that everything depends on the will of those you can' take charge of this development, accompanied by a cash incentive.
However I approve the initiative.

ashlar, why do not you open a poll for this ... just an idea.

[ashlar]

Hi gotham_x, I'd gladly open the poll to test the interest in this. I just want to be sure that the right tool exists to do what we would need to do.

That is rasing money, keeping it in a "safe place" and releasing it to a deserving subject when we deem it right. I know this last portion is completely subjective, this is why I was seeking Warner306 involvement. Because people (developers) would need to trust our good faith in this. I am fairly sure of my good faith, but I can't necessarily expect others do to the same.
