Then, find the right place to advertise this opportunity. I'm definitely willing to donate money for this.. considering I use Kody DSPlayer daily.
Agreed. I can put it to some people but right now I couldn't tell them what's needed apart from "plz update Kodi DSPlayer to 18.x thanks".

I think that if someone out of the KODI fold has not already volunteered to start this without money, then I am also unsure what people it would attract by people waving money about.
If we ignore that, anyone who starts doing this for money will be under severe pressure and be constantly vilified for any bugs, as no one can say the usual, " we do this in our own time, no one gets paid etc". You just have to look at when KODI 18 was released, it was as if the world ended with the initial issues, and that was Free.
That's a lot of problems and no solutions. I am all about solutions, and a bounty is a pro-active method of getting things done. What's the alternative? We sit on our hands and hope for the best?
I agree we would need a clear definition of what constitutes completion of the task. The main features of Kodi 18.x with DSPlayer/madVR functioning? I have yet to use 18.x, so others could help out with the definition.
"Waving money about" is a pretty cynical attitude to have. The goal here is to get this done; if you have a better idea, please tell us.
