Simplicity always wins, but in this case DSPlayer can be as simple as Kodi itself with preconfigured filters, the winner is obvious. The problem with group open-source projects has always been structure, particularly bias.
Thank you for your posts in this forum. My labelling of your response as "cold" had more to do with a lack of communication and apathy towards aracnoz more than anything. Users in this forum had been wanting a response from Team Kodi from the very beginning. I believe this is the first time its happened in the Official DSPlayer forum. I think aracnoz's motivation to merge this project had as much to do with pride in what he created as a desire for help.
Its seems likely aracnoz badly wanted some help, so he wasn't always required to be available for each release date. If you don't have the horses to do it, I can accept that. I've already made plans to move on because these things happen with open source software. The hope remains yet another developer(s) will pick up the project in the future.
I'd say to other DSPlayer users to respect aracnoz's decision and hope someone else finds this project exciting. The revival of DSPlayer has happened many times. Having at least one Linux developer see the error of their ways and make their way to Windows would be nice. Kodi development sounds very unbalanced.
Trent.
