I don't know that DSPlayer needs to be updated today, either, but it will someday to maintain support with add-ons and madVR.

I was saying it is hard not to notice that this has been the most actively viewed thread on the Kodi forums over the past year, as it is almost up to two million views. I went through all of the forums one day and sorted them by historical views. It's not like no one is still curious about DSPlayer anymore or not interested in new builds.

 Indeed.  I have always used Kodi as a frontend for Plex with PlexKodiConnect, and recent versions of that addon have already surpassed compatibility for 17.x.  If Plex Media Server updates to stop working with the old version of that addon, I'll be in a pickle.

So, as 18.x DSPlayer version would be great, perhaps we could garner the interest of potential devs by setting up a bounty?  Payable in crypto?  I think we could collect a decent amount as, like you say, the interest in this is still very high.
