When you install Kodi, use all the internal filters. You only need to add the ffdshow raw filter for svp. You do not need rules for playing mkv files either. There is lots of info over at the Kodi forum on how to set up dsplayer. I have svp working by adding the ffdshow raw filter and left all else in Kodi on default settings.
