The normal Video player has no problem adjusting it and even when i try to change the screen Hz to 23 just like Video Player does i still get 23.810 on DSPlayer with casual stutter unlike the Video Player that achieves 23.976 frame rate with no stutter whatsoever so there has to be more to it than just changing display Hz . I already tried many advancedsettings options but nothing seems to work. Also tried creating custom resolutions with no success on the refresh rate. Any help?

 Cheers Warner,

I am a little confused about what you meant by "Add "ActivateWindow(123)" to your keymap and you can adjust many settings with your remote"

I am almost ready to give up on the whole FSE issue, however if I'm not mistaken I currently need it to get the best out of my HDR material. Is that correct?

As I mentioned before, the curious thing about this issue is that FSE works everytime with MPC and maybe 1 in 10 times with DSPlayer, so I don't think there is any issue at the MadVR end, otherwise it would never work. I do feel like there must be a conflict going on here somewhere and I'm inclined to think it's at the Kodi/DSPlayer end.

If I'm loading from the MadVR active profile, do I need FSE selected in both MadVR and DSPlayer settings, or does one make the other redundant?

On a slightly different note, do you have your Kodi open at all times or do you open and force close it from your remote? I've struggled with reliable ways to close Kodi from the remote recently    

 You can change madVR processing settings from the video settings menu, which is accessible during playback. A shortcut to this menu is ActivateWindow(123).

So, you could add it to a keyboard.xml like this:

<keymap>
<FullScreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<home>ActivateWindow(123)</home>
</keyboard>
</FullScreenVideo>
</keymap>

The key "home" could be anything you want.

The only need for fullscreen exclusive mode is that it's the only way to currently get 12-bit output with HDR content with Nvidia graphics cards. This is simply due to a driver bug. So you might have to set your output to 8-bits in the GPU control panel, or allow the GPU to dither to 8-bits until this is fixed. Or launch these files with MPC. But I would just stick with 8-bits for the time being because no one's eyes are good enough to tell the difference between 8-bits with dithering and 10-bits, even with their face up to the screen. Many new UHD displays are still 8-bit, as well. This is really annoying, but it is a Nvidia driver bug, so you will have to work around it until it is fixed.

You do need to select fullscreen exclusive mode in DSPlayer. It wouldn't hurt to also select it in madVR. If you aren't doing this, it could be your problem.

I close Kodi by having my Harmony remote close Kodi with a key command when I push power. You would have to set this up in the Harmony remote software. The command is "ShutDown()" You assign this to a key command first in a keyboard.xml and then call that key command from the Harmony software. Of course, this assumes you have a Harmony remote. Occasionally, Kodi crashes. If it happens more than occasionally, you probably have a bad add-on that is not allowing Kodi to close properly.

If you put your PC to sleep, an easier way is to use Laucher4Kodi, which will close Kodi automatically on power off/sleep. It will also auto-open Kodi on resume. This is more reliable than sending a key command from a Harmony remote.

 It switches just fine, this is MadVR handling changing to 23 auto from the settings pane, on Ep1 of My Hero Academia S3, HS.

If these are MKVs, I'd modify the files refresh rate with mkvtoolnix and see if playback stays smooth.

I don't think anything drastic is going to change with VideoPlayer, either. It will still use its own video renderer and decoder, so no third party addons. The closest to this support is support for external players.

A new version of DSPlayer depends on aracnoz. He has released updates for the last four years, so he might provide an update for v18. It is too early to tell. If not, I may try and find someone who can update the current DSPlayer GitHub to Kodi Master. DSPlayer doesn't need any new features for v18, so a simple compile should be good enough. I will try this myself if aracnoz doesn't provide an update. But I am still hopeful aracnoz has not forgot about us. Like I said, it is too early to tell because v18 hasn't even reached Beta status yet.

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.

@Warner306 

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.
