So with xbmc i can't use direct show to play rtmp? Maybe with MPC-HC?

No. You cannot. As you quoted:

- DSplayer has limited network stream support (including streams from PVR TV-backends). This is not exactly its issue, but rather a DirectShow limitation - there is no universal DS source filter which can support various network media streaming formats. As a workaround, you can add the following strings into the <rules> section of your playercorefactory.xml file:

PHP Code:

<!-- DSPlayer rules: set network streams to DVDPlayer -->
<rule name="streams" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" /> 


to play network streams with XBMC's default DVDplayer.

The rule is setup to AVOID using DSplayer for streams. Because there are no open source Direct Show filters that can support that format. There are a couple of commercial filters, but there are $400 and $1200 for developer licenses. DVDPlayer uses librtmp.dll which is not written as a DS filter. And since MPC-HC is a DS filter based player, then you will run into the same issue with that. There are other open source players available that will play RTMP streams. Just go to sourceforge and search. You could set up one of them as an external player if they accept the stream url as a command line parameter.
