Hello all

I have a Win laptop and is still on DSPlayer 15.0 Isengard Final - build (20150721-e67b8c1)

I think its time to update it...

How do i do that?
Do i just dl and run this: Setup 32bit: DSPlayer 17.3 Krypton - build (20170525-703c8f9) and it updates?
Do i need to dl and install all releases that are between 15.0 and 17.3 ?

Sorry for noobish questions but i got used an Rpi with LibreElec and autoupdates...

do it as a portable install so you can run them side by side to evaluate it.

basic instructions:

1. create a folder call KODI_DS or something like that, somewhere, anywhere.
2. Install it here,
3.Once installed dont start it yet, go into the folder and right click KODI.exe and create a shortcut to it.
4. Rename the Shortcut KODI_DS
5.Right click on the shortcut and go into properties, add -p onto the target - i.e, c:\KODI_DS.exe -p
6. Drop the shortcut on your desktop.

You can now load and use it without it affecting your current install as all the user data will be stored locally in the folder rather than appdata or your windows profile. It works in exactly the same way, its no more stable or less so.

I do all mine like this now as to back it up and just create a copy of the folder, no messing, I often create a copy and update that to test it before doing my main folder.

Portable just works, no idea why everyone doesnt use it tbo
