Oddly enough I found a part of this works for me - I entered a series of plug-in names (faithfully!) in the whitelist file, putting the 32 zeros beneath each of them. Unfortunately none of them were updated to =0" in the defaults file.
But… when I opened Dorico again, several of them were working as VST’s, including Play, Addictive Drums, BFD2 and some NI synths. I haven’t tested them thoroughly with multiple channels etc., but an initial test shows no problems.
As I have Cubase 8.5 installed and those VST’s work perfectly there, I’m guessing that the necessary codes etc. were already in the system and somehow I’ve opened them up for use in Dorico.

I am trying to use the rgc audio sfz player
the GUID info seems to be this
sfz
5653457273667A73667A000000000000
which I have put into the vst2whitelist.txt file
later -
this doesn’t seem to work (it’s a somewhat outdated player anyway).
however, the Plogue Sforzando sfz player (which can also play/convert sf2 files) does work:
GUID:
sforzando VST_x64
565354504C475173666F727A616E646F
Play 4.3 does work, but Play 5.0.0 is known to make trouble.
Good news is, East West is aware of this and will release an update soon,
so have a look for updates at East West.
