The main reason they should do it, as it stands now, is because HEVC decoding is a lot more efficient with x64 than x86. So hopefully this does see the light of day.

to do that i would need alot of time that right now i don't have anymore :\
but I want to reassure, I already have a build of Isengard, as soon as we will be the first beta there will be even the dsplayer version, but to improve the integration of madVR in DSPlayer i should do a very careful and expensive work that right now I cannot do, further improvements on madVR have to wait for now, I overlooked many things about my private life that now i need to recover
don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of what we managed to do all togheter, in 10 days this thread has over 10,000 views, seems that people are more interested to this that instead a release in dx11... this should make it clear to the team kodi what people really want
who knows... it seemed impossible to have a version of kodi with madVR and instead we managed it, maybe one day we will be able to change theirs mind on this

Thanks for your help. After going through most of the troubleshooting tips, I checked "Use system filters (DirectShow merits)", which was unchecked before and it worked!

I don't think this is all that significant, but HEVC decoding should be common in the future and some systems (like mine) will have to be upgraded to just to decode high-bitrate 1080p videos. x64 is quite a bit more efficient and would help with video decoding that will be more troublesome in the coming years.
I found some tests online. A Core 2 Duo cannot decode HEVC at 1080p using software decoding. x64 isn't possible either, but this codec appears to be very hard on CPUs. And only one graphics card, the Nividia GTX960, currently supports HEVC hardware decoding. A Core 2 Duo Quad did okay, so I'm not certain if this type of decoding has trouble with dual-core computers or something else is at work. I'd have to try a file myself.
