I like that idea, but it would require a good developer interested primarily in madVR. You would still have the issue of getting the HDR metadata to madVR and likely slower rendering performance with Kodi's video decoders compared to the madVR integration possible with D3D11 Native in LAV Filters.

D3D11 Native is integrated into madVR. Some tasks like highlight recovery strength for tone mapping are significantly faster with D3D11 Native. I don't know if there would be a difference with Kodi's video decoders, but certains tasks in madVR would have to be slower. Maybe the general performance could resemble DXVA2 copy-back, but I don't know. Copy-back matches D3D11 Native in most scenarios, but could become slower by comparison in the future.

The thing is, if we are talking about an addon to videoplayer instead of an update to Dsplayer, it would be just as well using 18.1 and using an external player with madVR, as if there are any performance hits, there is nothing to be gained really ?
To be honest I am in no rush to upgrade, I understand the Netflix side, but that plays fine with the Windows 10 app for me and the addon I tried a while back was nothing to get excited about, so personally I cannot see the need even if there was someone kind enough to step up, as it may be a work in vain due to any issues, and maybe being worse than we currently have.

In any case, $500 from me for a perfectly working 18.2 Kodi DSPlayer build.
If anybody wants to join the bounty, feel free. Since for the moment it's only from me, I consider it "honour bound", if anybody else wanted to join, we'd have to devise some method for it. Any dev interested present yourself here and state your intentions.
Maybe merging the changes from 17.6 to 18.2 is not *too* complicated, I don't know.
Edit: to avoid misunderstandings, the build would have to be publicly available for everybody to download.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you
read this first (usually it's enough to follow instructions in the second post).

I hope someone takes up the challenge. But I'm not sure who might be reading this thread.

Maybe we could ask the kodi developers to integrate madvr/lav filters support into kodi 19? wouldn't that be possible for the windows version of kodi? I mean media portal and jriver got it too...

They've been asked, and they blatantly refuse implementing a feature only for Windows. It doesn't help that all of their devs are Linux.
Developer for
Shoko and
Nakamori. Long time user of Kodi, before it was even called Kodi. My XBOX died long ago, but Windows is still just as broken and necessary. I obviously watch anime, given my first comment. Video games, manga, music, you name it.

I would put down 10 or 20 as well but I'll need some kind of cable TV integration that does timeshifting either via something like NPVR or the unofficial hd homerun pvr add-on. My current hold up in implementing Kodi ds has to do with live TV deficiencies and the current pvr options. I have at least one willing pvr author but no one to guide him.
