Can I force deinterlacing of broadcast 1080i streams (only)?

[wmichael3 9]

There is a bug in the Google Streamer when interlaced content is sent to it by Emby.  Typically, when fast forwarding/rewinding 1080i content the Streamer will panic and reboot. May happen after just a skip or two, or sometimes takes quite a few skips; very repeatable. This is not the fault of Emby - prior versions of CCwGTV do not have this problem, nor does any progressive video.

Is there a way to force transcoding/deinterlacing without introducing a bandwidth cap, just for interlaced content? Like maybe an FFMPEG environment variable or some other hidden setting? This would be a workaround until Google solves the underlying issue, which they acknowledge as a bug.

I have the Diagnostic plug-in installed, but the option to "Force Transcoding Disables DirectPlay and remuxing to force transcoding" does not appear to do that for any app except for the browser.

 

Thanks

Hi, if you click playback correction in the video player, does that do it? I’m curious if it’s being detected as interlaced.
