Complaining that an update isn't coming is definitely not the best way to get anyone to try, though.

 Personally I wasn't acting entitled in any way. I proposed the creation of a bounty to attract interest in keeping development active. There's not much more I could do, not being a coder.
Would $1,000 be attractive enough? $3,000? $5,000? What would be the correct figure to entice a developer to bring Kodi DSPlayer to the 18.2 release?  I ask you since you seem to have a clear(er) idea of the work involved.
