theniteow1 25 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hello, I have the latest version of Emby (not beta), the and the latest version of the Fire TV app. I noticed when I use Live TV Streaming, some channels come in interlaced (you can see lines running through things, especially when there is fast movement), while others play perfectly normal. If I enable "Direct Play" (no time-shifting) then the issue goes away. I would assume it has something to do with ffmpeg not detecting if the channel is interlaced or not. Has anybody experienced this issue? Emby team are you aware of this problem? Thanks! P.S. I noticed it on certain channels like Hallmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theniteow1 25 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi, @@Luke here are the logs. Sorry, it took so long to get back to you, just now got time to collect them. If you note channels 534, and 565 seems to be the one's that show the interlacing issue. While channel 592 comes in just fine. Hope this helps.

Luke 37113 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Ok thanks. It has properly detected that it is interlaced but I don't think it is being deinterlaced. We'll look at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1561 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorry to interject, but what is the relationship between transcoding and deinterlacing ? I get thereby different, but if transcoding uses ffmpeg (I think), what does deinterlacing use (something completely different, some kind of subset of ffmpeg) ?

mwongjay 64 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorry to interject, but what is the relationship between transcoding and deinterlacing ? I get thereby different, but if transcoding uses ffmpeg (I think), what does deinterlacing use (something completely different, some kind of subset of ffmpeg) ? My attempt at making it easy to understand: Think about washing your clothes. You put dirty clothes (interlaced video) through the washing machine (transcoder), add detergent and fabric softener (ffmpeg flags) and at the end of the cycle you have clean clothes (progressive video). You can google interlaced video vs progressive to see the difference. Emby uses ffmpeg to transcode incompatible formats to formats that your client device (Roku, Amazon FireTv, etc) can play. In the case of interlaced video, Emby transcodes the video using ffmpeg with a flag that instructs ffmpeg how to process the video with the result being deinterlaced video.
