So if I install version 17, I could setup MPC-HC as an external player and still use MADVR? No way to setup Dsplayer in 17?

Thanks

it's not possible to just install it. DS it's a part of Kodi. Need someone to adapt DSPlayer to v17 changes.

So the best option with using Kodi 17 is to setup mpc-hc with madvr as an external player?

Yes, if you insist on using madVR.

Well if I just use the video player in Kodi 17 will there be a huge loss in video quality compared to using madvr?

Depends on what you are doing with the video.

It depends on what your eyes think. I think the difference is substantial. You need a good graphics card, however. madVR is like a high quality video game in how it works.

I do have a good graphics card. I had been using madvr and dsplayer with Kodi, but now I am debating on weather to upgrade Kodi to version 17, but I would lose dsplayer if I do.

I am running two installations of Kodi: one portable; one DSPlayer.

I don't want to give up DSPlayer, so I do most of my viewing on it. It still plays local files and video add ons just fine.

I also have a portable installation for video addons that work exclusively with Kodi v17.

That's a pain, but it gives DSPlayer life by using two installations. I find I do most of my viewing with DSPlayer watching a couple of video add ons and mostly local files. The portable installation is reserved for a single video add on.

Eventually, in another year, I will be forced to go back to using MPC-HC as external player. That worked just fine, but it is a less polished experience than using DSPlayer.

I'd pay to have a dedicated DSPlayer developer, but so would many others.

Ok, I will try doing a separate installation so I could keep my dsplayer, and still upgrade to 17.
Thanks
