I have been running the new build for a couple of days. Gui and playback of SD to 3D are pretty solid and I haven't experience any issues yet. And also, the milkdrop 2 is amazing :-)
Great work!
There's some lag when playing back video in the background and moving into movies from home screen, but that is also present in the dx9 version.

Just installed the May 3 version with Milkdrop2, so far so good. Haven't noticed any glitches or anything out of the ordinary here. The one noticeable difference is this version loads much faster than the Isengard nightly I was running before.

May 3rd does not crash on Windows 10 build 10122 and guess what!... it is 1000 times faster than Isengard or Helix.
Can I know why it is faster other stable and nightly?

Yeah - that I also must say in public - I wrote it to Anton via Mail some months ago. This DX11 implementation is the best kodi experience I have ever seen ... and thus I worked to implement XVBA, VAAPI and most linux based Code. This here is a new area.
@anirudh7: It's quite clear, old Kodi code is based on ancient DX9 and only was kept alive as much as needed.

I think we will see a "semi-official" DX11 v15 build :-) which is easy to rebase whenever a 15.x version is released.

Btw. You got green light, when v16 is branched!

1. Thanks. I'll take a look at this.
2. You have 100% load of both CPU cores this causes GUI lags.
