DSPlayer (DirectShow Player for XBMC) Frodo build available
I started an introductory post (feel free to comment; edit):

Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows

DSPlayer is a DirectShow-based media player for Kodi Entertainment Center. DSPlayer development is handled through its own branch, which is kept in sync with changes to the official Kodi codebase. The player is designed to work with or replace the default Kodi media player, DVDPlayer, while offering full integration with the existing Kodi interface. This means all media databases and player controls will function in the same manner as a standard Kodi installation. DSPlayer is installed on Windows operating systems through custom installation packages, which are made available in conjunction with official releases of Kodi.

The DSPlayer branch is maintained exclusively by Kodi member aracnoz. Without his efforts, DSPlayer would not exist. This project was also made possible by the many contributions of past members including:
  • tiben20
  • blinkseb
  • 0wing
  • Eduard K
Unlike the main branch, which encompasses a team of Team Kodi programmers, DSPlayer is maintained by one member in his free time. Therefore, users cannot be guaranteed the same level of bug-free experience as official Kodi releases due the limitations of available resources and testing. With that said, technical questions and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and the player is always being upgraded to keep pace with the latest Kodi features.

DSPlayer Features:
  • Compatibility with most custom DirectShow filters such as LAV Filters, Xy-SubFilter, Haali Media Splitter, AV Splitter, FFDShow, AC3Filter, etc.;
  • Full integration with madVR video renderer including a customized madVR gui and access to all madVR post-processing features;
  • Custom video renderers: Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR) and Video Mixing Renderer 9 (VMR9);
  • Complete settings gui for DSPlayer-related controls and options;
  • Extended audio streams and subtitle choice dialogs;
  • Ability to add filters and assign media rules through the Kodi interface.
Warnings:
  • This is an unofficial Kodi build, not from Team Kodi!
  • This build comes with no warranties, explicit or implied, and you use it at your own risk.
  • The build is maintained exclusively by aracnoz, and all questions and concerns should be directed to aracnoz in this thread. Thereby, this thread functions as the official support forum for DSPlayer.
Known Issues/Limitations:
  • DSPlayer has limited network stream support (including streams from PVR TV-backends). However, playing some types of such streams is possible via LAV Splitter as source/splitter filter. It is possible to reroute network streams to DVDPlayer.
  • There is limited support for DVD ISO files with external filters, but not Blu-ray ISO, and no support for BDMV or other Blu-ray folder structures. Again, these files can be rerouted to other players (DVDPlayer or external).
