1) I have not used external players in years, but I'd imagine the experience is still much worse? When I last tried external, proper resume points and watched states were impossible, the files would be marked watched after the start of playback. I guess I could live without this, but is there a player with comparable subtitle downloader that works well with keyboard/remote?

2) If someone were to ever pick this project up again, I suggest dropping Madvr configuration completely to make it a bit simpler, I assume most people interested in this have been using external configuration and filters anyway because of the updates.

1) No, there is not a player with a comparable subtitle downloader, keyboard/remote or not. If there is, it has eluded my searches for the longest time. Especially if one dares to wish for a downloader that works well as a 10 feet interface.

2) I've always raised this point, even during the "aracnoz days". When it became clear that no integration of DSPlayer could ever happen with the main builds, madVR internal support became pretty much useless/meaningless/too much work. Filters configuration (i refer to advanced filters configuration according to Kodi's playback rules in playercorefactory.xml) is needed/useful, as that allows for a flexibility in filters choice that is unequalled (again, as far as my searches have told me so far), together with madVR multiconfigurations it makes DSPlayer incredibly granular in its handling of video files.
