As far as we know, there is no plan.  Until a developer steps up that has the desire to do it for him/herself and shares it with us.

that sucks. I having issue with this built so i updated to latest Kodi version which fixed the playback issue but i lost Dsplayer.

JRiver is not, in my opinion, the same kind of product. It's a very good product but it's more targeted at desktop use, to be honest. Using it from the couch has never struck me as a particularly good idea.

Media Portal 1 is functional. In my opinion is less polished than Kodi (especially the skinning engine, with less smooth transitions for instance).

If I were you I'd try to debug the problem you had with DSPlayer. Pretty much everybody manages to use it still, maybe your situation is salvageable.
