Deinterlace on HTSP stream profile? (Kodi - Apple TV)

Added by Sylvain Cecchetto over 5 years ago

Hi,

Just switched from an x86 Kodi frontend to an Apple TV 4 with Kodi.

But Kodi on Apple TV is unable to deinterlace my 1080i Live TV DVB-T channels... (I get the video in slow motion).
So I have to disable the deinterlace setting into Kodi in order to play the channel.
But I can see the "horizontal lines" on my screen :-/

How can I do to "move" the deinterlace step from Kodi to TVHeadend?

HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1785~g1383eab65 from Debian package unstable
Debian 9

Thank you!

Oh ok ... Thank you for the answer.

But how Kodi, VLC and other video players do to deinterlace? They do not perform transcoding right? They can deinterlace on the fly in a different manner of TVH?

Hi, as you pointed yourself, other "players" do that (frontends), tvheadend is the backend.

what wonders me is that kodi on ATV cannot deinterlace, works here fine on android, windows and linux (im no apple user).

if TVH shell do the deinterlace only option would be to transcode afaik (its a option in the codec profiles), not stream profile.

so may try another player like mrmc or so (former kodi dev there who seems to be very good in things like deinterlace) or try at kodi forums
as there is the place to look for if deinterlacing doesnt work in your setup.

backend provides the original stream (interlaced)
frontend play the stream and deinterlace (best would be also hw acclerated)

hope this helps a bit ...
