Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows
DSPlayer is a DirectShow-based media player for Kodi Entertainment Center. DSPlayer development is handled through its own branch, which is kept in sync with changes to the official Kodi codebase. The player is designed to work with or replace the default Kodi media player, DVDPlayer, while offering full integration with the existing Kodi interface. This means all media databases and player controls will function in the same manner as a standard Kodi installation. DSPlayer is installed on Windows operating systems through custom installation packages, which are made available in conjunction with official releases of Kodi.
Unlike the main branch, which encompasses a team of Team Kodi programmers, DSPlayer is maintained by one member in his free time. Therefore, users cannot be guaranteed the same level of bug-free experience as official Kodi releases due the limitations of available resources and testing. With that said, technical questions and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and the player is always being upgraded to keep pace with the latest Kodi features.
This project was also made possible by the many contributions of past members including:There are other people that i would to thanks:

madshi for his great help in the integration of madVR in DSPlayer, Warner306 for the excellent guide written on DSPlayer and for writing this first page, my thanks also go to the most active members, oldpoem, vicmanpergar, who helped me to test DSPlayer in recent years, and always ready to help users that use DSPlayer for the first time.
My final thanks go to Team Kodi, even if they do not directly support us, without an official version of kodi could not exist DSPlayer... one day I'd like know what you think about DSPlayer.
DSPlayer Features:
Warnings:
- Compatibility with most custom DirectShow filters such as LAV Filters, Xy-SubFilter, Haali Media Splitter, AV Splitter, FFDShow, AC3Filter, etc.;
- Full integration with madVR video renderer including a customized madVR gui and access to all madVR post-processing features;
- Custom video renderers: Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR) and Video Mixing Renderer 9 (VMR9);
- Complete settings gui for DSPlayer-related controls and options;
- Extended audio streams and subtitle choice dialogs;
- Ability to add filters and assign media rules through the Kodi interface.
Known Issues/Limitations:
- This is an unofficial Kodi build, not from Team Kodi!
- This build comes with no warranties, explicit or implied, and you use it at your own risk.
- All questions and concerns should be directed in this thread. Thereby, this thread functions as the official support forum for DSPlayer.
How to help:
- DSPlayer has limited network stream support (including streams from PVR TV-backends). However, playing some types of such streams is possible via LAV Splitter as source/splitter filter. It is possible to reroute network streams to DVDPlayer.
- There is limited support for DVD ISO files with external filters, but not Blu-ray ISO. Again, these files can be rerouted to other players (DVDPlayer or external).
Resources:
- A full debug log posted on xbmclogs.com or pastebin.com
- Possible crashlogs uploaded for download. Make sure you have the correct .pdb file placed in the install folder (you should have Kodi.exe and related Kodi.pdb in the same place)
- If you are using madVR a possible madVR freeze report posted on pastebin.com generated pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+PAUSE/BREAK when crash/freeze occurs. Make sure you have the correct .pdb file placed in the install folder (you should have Kodi.exe and related Kodi.pdb in the same place)
- DSPlayer and specific DS Filters/Renderers build that you are using.
- Steps needed to reproduce the issue (play a movie, go to a file list, use an add-on, etc)
- The more details, the better.
- You may also post that everything is working as expected so we known current state of this development. In this case also provide full info.
