I didn't say it wouldn't be updated? I stated afaik, the developer who created it abandoned it. I got that info from the DSPlayer wiki. I assume that means it won't be further developed any longer. I also stated it has been getting recompiled to work with KODI by someone who does this at their ambition to try and keep it 'alive'. The front page has a link to GitHub. In there is shows that 30,000 commits have been submitted, 6000 of them behind the official KODI release. I take it these are facts.
Lingo, while I don't wish to haggle with you yet again, you basically asked about the differences using DSPlayer vs external players and insinuated you found no reason for them. I simply pointed out a few things off the top of my head which are major reasons I prefer another method and acknowledged ahead of time others may not share the same reasoning and why. For you to follow up with being lucky and further insinuating I am not, as well as insinuating my findings are not your findings by skating around the points of interest I provided is meaningless but effectively belittling once again. Then to follow up again replying you "hate" the points of interest I provided, therefor they are meaningless provided your idea of "HTPC nirvana" is everyone else's including mine. Will you and I ever arrive at a civil agreement about anything like accepting another's viewpoint when different and factual? You've driven me out of this thread now. You win. I don't know what you've won, but you win.

question for warner306,
looking at the custom profiles in your guide for madvr i noticed that you have...
if (deintFps <= 25) and (srcWidth > 1920) "2160p25"
else if (deintFps <= 25) and ((srcWidth <= 1920) and (srcHeight > 1080)) "2160p25"
should that not read...
if (deintFps <= 24) and (srcWidth > 1920) "2160p24"
else if (deintFps <= 24) and ((srcWidth <= 1920) and (srcHeight > 1080)) "2160p24"
as the frame rate is 23.9xx (24) in movies not 25.
