DSPlayer won't be included in regular Kodi in any way. This has already been discussed and decided. The closed source nature of madVR doesn't help matters. I don't think anything drastic is going to change with VideoPlayer, either. It will still use its own video renderer and decoder, so no third party addons. The closest to this support is support for external players.
A new version of DSPlayer depends on aracnoz. He has released updates for the last four years, so he might provide an update for v18. It is too early to tell. If not, I may try and find someone who can update the current DSPlayer GitHub to Kodi Master. DSPlayer doesn't need any new features for v18, so a simple compile should be good enough. I will try this myself if aracnoz doesn't provide an update. But I am still hopeful aracnoz has not forgot about us. Like I said, it is too early to tell because v18 hasn't even reached Beta status yet.
