Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows

I wonder if there's enough people who use Kodi DSPlayer to generate enough funds\donations to help pay for the "huge price" weighing on aracnoz's shoulders? It doesn't seem fair aracnoz sacrifices all his free time and hard work; while, everyone else sits cozy at home watching dsplayer-powered Kodi TV\Movies\Streaming videos (only coming here to download and update their DSPlayer Kodi builds or complain about new issues or feature requests). Plus, I dont think it helps some other official Kodi developers appear to be treating him like a second-class citizen (instead of a Hero).

Surely enough people who "depend" on Kodi DSPlayer to help organize a successful funding project. I'm certainly one of those people. I'm sure people who can afford PCs with enough horsepower to run madvr effectively can also afford to help keep this project going... and give credit where credit is due.

but I think there are different interpretations

I have never seen my work with DSPlayer so far from the official version, each step that i made to reproduce the original Kodi experience with a player based on direct show filters or each time that i preferred to make my work more difficult to not introduce changes in the original Kodi code, the days, weeks and months that i past by developing, i made this for Kodi and not against Kodi

I do not think that my role in kodi should be seen differently from the skin's developers, My only fault is that my work is not applicable to all platforms

in the past i tried to help but no one has never considered what i was saying so i preferred to not insist by presenting some pull request
e.g here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=223530 i think that this bug it's always there, i also made a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiWmP3KHTwA
now are past some months... but if I remember I was thinking to something like that https://github.com/aracnoz/xbmc/commit/3...e07d8b348c

I also opened a thread with some suggestions even with the final purpose to open a dialog between us

then I have to admit that all that I have done until now with DSPlayer had a huge price to make it possible, sometime I also thought "how can I continue to do my real work, live and develop the DSPlayer part?" Smile,
so it's possible that my contribution in other things might not be so big as I would like

yeah, madshi it's really a special guy, and i'm sure that each of you has more experiences, skills and kodi's knowledge to do this job better then me, I really do not know where to start

i only know what i've done, so include a direct show player in the current kodi master branch without touch or enter in conflicts with the original functionalities

I'm not a saint but I do not think I should apologize for what I did

anyway, I can understand your points but honestly I only see the alot of "no" "never" "it's useless and without advantages"

so maybe it's not this time Smile
