Any more progress on this? or is this stalled?

Can anyone provide a detailed setup for how to get this to work. I installed the Kodi Dsplayer from GitHub, installed madVR. When trying to play any movie nothing happens. I have set dsplayer in kodi to use madVR as the video render. I’m sure I’m missing something. I installed regular kodi and HDR is working fine but would love to get DV up and running with my HTPC. Thanks for all your work and help.

if DirectShow is a legacy feature how does that affect this project?

The thing is that every single codec,audio renderer, video renderer and media player which are open source are written for directshow so to work togheter we would need to rewrite every single codec, renderer and player to work with mediafoundation. I believe if you start from scratch and do your own media player with propertary codec that you write on your own you would go with media foundation its a bit less complex than directshow but otherwise no one written anything for media foundation except some webcam input. People stick with what works so thats the reason directshow will stay over media foundation. I hope it answers your question.Quote:[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Dsplayer will be implemented in the next Kodi Version and I could finally use MadVR again without using an external player? That are amazing news.

I'm sure I'm not alone being excited at the prospect of this new version. I will be very happy to make a donation.
One question...I have the issue with 17.6 or 17.7 DSplayer where pausing video results in flashing visual corruption of the pop up seek bar.
Is this fixed in the new version yet?

For your problem about the pause you will need to wait a release candidate to test it on the new version.

Is dsplayer already implemented in the Kodi 22 nightly builds?

This is a side development, a fork. It has nothing to do with Team Kodi's work, aside from the fact that it starts from the same codebase. Team Kodi is generous enough to allow this discussion to stay on their forums, where people can have support.
Tiben20 has taken once more the helm of the project after a long hiatus, during which aracnoz led development. We now need to wait for his work to be completed but, as he is correctly targeting the next stable release, Kodi 22, the wait is not entirely up to him.
I hope I have made everything clearer for you. Cheers!

This will become a very popular fork I think. If we can use libplacebo without the need of an eternal player that would be fantastic.

Hi everyone. Very excited of this development as I have transitioned to a full HTPC and almost completely abbandoned phisical discs. I also happen to have a videoprojector that would greatly improve with a dynamic tone mapping solution.
I would like to understand better what to expect from this fork of kodi 22.
1) Is it going to integrate a player capable of dynamic tone mapping without the need of using something like madVR?
2) Will it be possible to set the nits the dispaly is capable of in the graphic interface or will it be necessary to edit a configuation file?
3) Will it continue to support the use of DXVA and super resolution with nVidia graphic cards?
4) Will it be able to playback ISO nativley (I have seen someonelse asking the same question, but I did not seem to find an answer)?
5) If kodi is updated is the fork going to be updated as well?
One last thing that more than a question is a consideration is why the main kodi branch doesn't consider including a dynamic tone mapping solution as manmy would appreciate this long awaitied feature. If not developping one, why not consider the work done by @tiben20 and integrate it some how?
@tiben20, please share a link via which it is possible to make donations. I am willing to support if not with the development at least economically ;-)
