Thanks for the very elaborating answer Oldpoem
Regarding the software decoding, it that something you choose in Video settings in Kodi or is it in LAVFilter?
I think I read somewhere DSPlayer doesn't use Kodi menu settings.

Oh and 1 more question!
I have my settings.bin from when it was working fine. If I reset to default and overwrite settings.bin would that be okay or should I manually input the settings?
I'm guessing the reg key is newer than the settings.bin, so I'm afraid if I just put settings.bin in folder it would be overwritten be default regkey.

Video settings in Kodi refer to dvdplayer only. While DSPlayer (if) using LAVFilter which you can manually settings outside DSPlayer or can use gui setting in DSFilter list to set as well.

I personally don't use settings.bin now so not sure about that. It's recommend to manually config madvr again if your settings is too old. Just few minutes.

Have tried to update madvr and kodi and reset madvr Settings and copy in settings.bin. It still gives me dropped frames after updating version. I have none in lavfilter for decoder. Don't get it. Can I use the older lavfilter dll files and replace the newer. Could that be a solution for get it working like before. I have rolled back now but my other clients are 16 not 15.2

Don't copy back settings.bin , that was no point in reset settings and write over with old settings.bin. You should set madvr from scratch and see if the problem still exist.
