As pointed out: 1 Windows dev and the rest of our 10 active devs all have a normal life - so powers need to be combined. If we were a company we could just drop every platform that has less than 20% users as an alternative?
It could have possibly have been 2 Windows devs had the Kodi team shown a bit better form and bothered to respond to his PMs and questions.
The reception he got from members of Team Kodi in the "current state and vision" thread was very poor since aracnoz was asking how he could change DSPlayer to better fit with this future vision. What he got appears to have received contradictory messages "DSPlayer's sources will certainly never hit our main repository." and then further comments complaing he hasn't contributed any code.
What did Team Kodi want him to do? Contribute code that would be rejected anyway?
He was there to get some advice how he could move DSPlayer forward so that it would conform with Kodi's strategic direction. Had there been a bit of a friendlier reception that could have developed into some collaboration where he may have contributed code on the Kodi side to help with that vision.
Personally I think it is Kodi's loss. Also seems understanding of DSPlayer and MadVR are not that great as I was using MadVR with an Sandy Bridge i3 and iGPU. It provides more than just the hardware intensive algorithms especially with the new zoom functionality.
