Hello
I posted my problem some months ago but I still can't figure out any solution.
I am using Kodi 17.6 Krypton DSPlayer. The problem is, the progress bar will not dissapear during the playback. Only a complete new installation of Windows 10 solves this problem. Since my last reinstall a few months ago everything worked fine. Now Microsoft released a big creators update and since then the progress bar issue is back. It was exactly the same in the past... Kodi and DS Player worked fine until a big Windows Update came. Now it is not useable. I tried standard Kodi Player and I tried the DS Player, I also tried to reinstall the programm but nothing helped. I am definitely not going to reinstall Windows 10 again.
If I am using the Standard Kodi Installation without DS Player everything workes fine, but I need DS Player for HDR Playback.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much

I haven't heard of this before. Have you tried changing the skin? Are you outputting in something other than Full -> Full -> Full? Does it disappear when you hit backspace?

Yes I tried changing the skin but that did not help. What exactly du you mean with output Full -> Full -> Full? I did not make any changes to the Video output. Yes I tried Right Klick, Backspace and Escape... it does not disappear

are you using a portable or full install?

try installing DS in portable mode, I always use portable anyway so i can have loads of different installs running on my PC to test stuff without affecting my main install. To install as portable just create a folder on your pc somewhere, install it in there and then create a new shortcut to KODI.exe, in this shortcut add -p to the end.
eg
"T:\KODI DS4\kodi.exe" -p
try this, it should work, if it does it suggests something is corrupt in your registry or app data or program data folders, note also, you'll never have to rebuild you machine if you always use portable.

and sorry for tripple post, but maybe an important notice.
In my video it is only shown at the beginning (and I really don't know why, normaly it is shown all the time) but in the progress bar that stays on the screen there is always written "Seeking" and a negative time-value which is rising during the video... is it some kind of searchbar?
