How do you configure MadVR? Through Kodi or in the MadVR control panel? Make sure Kodi doesn't try to switch it out of FSE again cause of the "Manage in Kodi" option. Then you'll get mixed results when you switch it on or off at certain times.

Ok , so I don't manage MadVR through Kodi, however you have got me thinking! I have MadVR set up to be permanently on my taskbar and I wonder if that is causing a similar issue to the one you are describing where the two pieces of software are fighting for exclusive mode. 

this is why you set up madVR inside DSPlayer to use "taskbar settings"

i have found in the past that 2 instance of madVR show up in windows task manager if madVR is already launched to the taskbar and you start to play a video via DSPlayer.

i personally dont like the way madVR is integrated into DSPlayer. same goes for filters. i would rather "point" to external and configure outside Kodi or have the option to launch the CP's from within to configure.

remember that you can set madVR up while watching a video by pressing crtl + s on your keyboard. i do this all the time as it easier to set up rendering as its "on the fly"
