FFmpeg extracts most of the information already, it would just be a matter of bringing it into a format that madVR understands. This format was defined in collaboration between madshi and myself, and it has no place in FFmpeg. All that would have to be implemented in the adapter between Kodi and madVR.
That said, madVR is not only a video renderer, but a DirectShow one, as such it expects a lot of particular behavior in a particular way, often not very obvious, trying to get Kodi to act like a DirectShow source that pushes data to madVR might be rather prone to a lot of complexity, so its not a task I would take lightly, or enjoy personally, for that matter.

Unfortunately, the number of developers working on free or even open-source DirectShow stuff can probably be counted on one hand, and any attempts at attracting new developers to help continue players like MPC-HC has already proven rather fruitless, as is perhaps also evident by the death of DSPlayer itself. Regardless, good luck!
