The project has had no maintainer since 17.x. Maintaining DSplayer and to build/port it into Leia branch is not an easy feat and sadly no one has had the combination of time and skill required to do so.
Has anyone actually attempted this? I'm sure I'm not going to make much progress here and will probably have to give up when I can't get the pipeline to build, but I'm already about 8 hours and about 450 of the 500+ merge conflicting files resolved (of updating this to the original 18.0 release). Hell VS Code can't even handle a git changelist with more than 5k files in it. If by some magic I can get 18.0 w/ DSPlayer to work, then I can start the arduous task of doing it all over again for the other 18.x milestones.
Anyway, if someone else has been stupid enough to try this before, I'd love to get together and discuss issues and roadblocks.
I did all this a few months back. It doesn't work.
When you finish you will have duplicated inputs, it will not work.
I discussed this recently and got some valuable information on how to do it.
If you git log it, you will see Aracnoz started working on it in 2014 with a commit:

I'm still learning but the way to do it is by a 3-way merge.
You have a folder with Kodi main branch, one for with DSplayer and one for that is a shared branch.
A shared branch is a folder with the last common commit of Aracnoz fork and Kodi.
And you use Araxis Merge:
https://www.araxis.com/merge/
And compare the three. This way you can see exactly which change was made into Kodi and what change is done by DSplayer.
The only problem is when a file does not exist anymore. So you have to do it manually and figure out the correct place for your change.
