Green Vertical line on recordings

[Heuer 76]

When playing mpeg.ts SD recordings made by Next PVR i am seeing a green vertical line on the right hand side of the screen when using EATV on the Shield. The recordings play back perfectly in Theatre, Browser, EA, Plex, VLC for windows and with the VLC app on the Shield TV. I can play the recordings on my Nexus 6 and cast them to the Shield with no issues.

 

 

 

This seems to be an issue with the EATV app. Any thoughts? All HD material (mkv's mostly), Youtube and BBC iPlayer play perfectly on the Shield so it is not the device. Here is a download link for one of the episodes that causes the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8496016/American.Dad%21.S08E17.ts

This is a known problem with the version of vlc were using and interlaced content.

Does that mean there will be a fix shortly?

[ebr 16169]

The problem is it is a bug in VLC.  I'm going to try changing the way we tell it to deinterlace with the next beta.  I don't have any material with which I can reliably reproduce this problem so can you please try it with the next beta (will be .29) and let me know if it makes a difference?

I put a Dropbox link to a sample .ts file especially for you in my first post. Download that and you have your test although obviously I will give it a go with the next beta. Green line appears onkly on SD content, HD content usually plays OK but I can provide you with as many samples as you need.

Sorry, I glossed over the link.  My attempted fix did not work.  I'll have to try something else.  Thanks.

Okay, the next beta (.30) should get rid of the green line.  I'm not positive it if will have an effect on quality of those items but I don't think so.  I couldn't see anything anyway.
