Is this still being developed? Has anyone had luck with 3d mvc using madvr with this?

No, no longer being developed. Many have had success with 3D with fullscreen exclusive mode. Most of the issues have had to do with switching to 1080p24 and back to 2160p60. Sometimes the switch to a 4K desktop has resulted in issues with Kodi being minimized or an incorrect resolution being chosen.

so is it worth using then?  How are the subtitles for 3d movies?  Doe they look right?

I'd try a portable installation and find out for yourself. There is a DSPlayer set up guide in my signature.

3d works as well as any other player using MADVR/LAV filters, there are some issues to look out for. You may have issues getting 3D to trigger at all with NVIDIA cards, there have been a few discussions about this on here, for some it just works though.

AMD cards see to have the most reliable 3D experience, Ive tried both. If you have a 4k TV there are some issues like Warner says, let us know how it goes and we'll help out if you run into problems.

I just tried it, it took a little figuring out, but 3d finally worked and the 3d subs worked as well.  The only thing I'm not crazy about is I can't stretch the screen vertically for 2.35:1 movies like i can with MPC-BE.  But I set it to stretch 4:3 and then zoomed it in and that appeared to work fine so I can live with that.

My major issues is that isn't being developed anymore so it seems like switching might be a waste  and is there anyplace that has a good writeup on how to use the external filters so I can always be up to date?  I fiddled for a bit and gave up trying to get it to use the external filters.

is there any way to disable dsp player on live tv? unfortunately, the changeover times are very bad.

thanks and a happy new year

Try using the file provided in the first section of the DSPlayer guide referencing Internet streams. It is a matter of selecting the right protocols in DSPlayer and creating VideoPlayer merits rules.

Warner306 I would like to thank you for all the support you gave in this project and your guides. They helped me in these years. Thank you a lot! And thanks to the people that kept this alive until now.

My question is...what do I do now? I mean I have one main HTPC with Kodi DSPlayer on configured with madvr but also other miniPC running kodi in other rooms which just...run kodi. I am looking forward the new kodi release also because it should convert HDR to SDR which is something I need to be done for the two miniPC since the TVs they're linked to are not HDR compatible, but they share the same database of the main HTPC which runs DSPlayer and it's connected to a 4K HDR TV. I cannot (and I do not want) to mix kodi versions otherwise there might be a problem with the shared nas data and I do not want run this as an external player otherwise I will miss some important features like play the movies in the point I left them and others.

So it's really it? Is it over? Or we keep this old version or there's no way out?

@Knight77 in the past I suggested "we" could create something like a bounty for somebody to pick up development of DSPlayer. I honestly don't know how complex an endeavour that would be but aracnoz code is all here https://github.com/aracnoz/xbmc after all.
I guess we will need to worry once and if Leia final arrives and there's no news from aracnoz. Till then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

as I said in another thread I saw , really I don't see the usefulness in something that isn't being developed which frankly is a shame as this really is the way Kodi should be.  If you watch 3d, there really isn't another choice.  I should mention that I ran external player for years and it did keep the location of the movie at least for the movie I was watching.  The main problem I had with external player was finding a remote that would work with both players.  At this point I"m considering sticking it out with DSplayer and praying someone will come along and pick up development or maybe go to jriver media player.

its only really over when it stops working with MADVR or LAV, if either of these have a massive update which doesnt play nice with KODI DS then we're buggered, up until now you can just manually update LAV filters, KODI DS uses MADVR from installed folder anyway.

If this happens i'll simply go back to using KODI with an external player.

There are plenty of other choices to watch 3D including official versions of KODI like v.18 LEIA.  I use external players too.  I use one remote to control my entire home theatre experience.  This includes all the different players I use and all their functions including KODI GUI.  A Logitech Harmony 900.  Many of the commands are shared.  You just have to know them apply them.
