3.0.3 Is not deinterlacing

[jfgilliam 26]

While running Emby Theater 3.0.3 on Windows 10 (Not the Modern App), I have turned the Deinterlace video option to "Yes" and it doesn't appear to be honoring the setting. Here's a screen shot.

Try different hwa modes as not all of them support deinterlacing.

Thanks. I had it on Auto. CUDA and RPI are deinterlacing, but D3D did not, but all of the showed "hardware acceleration = no" on the stats.

CUDA doesn't work on windows, presently. I'd recommended auto copyback. And watch to see if you get dropped frames on some content. If you do, I can help with that.

Yeah, I didn't know what to pick. I have a AMD Radeon graphics card. Even though, when I picked CUDA, it did deinterlace it. 

 

I set it to auto-copyback and now it is using dxva2-copy for hardware acc. Deinterlacing is working. I am getting a few dropped frames.

Does is continually drop frames?

[jfgilliam 26]

No. Very few. But on another computer where it has a 4K monitor all of them are dropping frames continuously. It has a nvidis gpu. Also have to delay the audio 220ms to get in sync with the video.

Yeah, there's an issue with deinterlacing, but I have a fix. But it takes a bit of explaining. Once in place, it works very well. Interested?

Ok, so for now, take a look at this.

When I get home, I'll walk you through what you need to do.

[Guest asrequested]

Ok, so you have to configure the player (mpv).

 

1. Follow this guide
2. In that mpv folder, make another folder and name it scripts
3. Go to the this post, and get the auto-profiles script. Delete the '.txt' at the end
4. Put that script in the scripts folder.
5. Open the mpv.conf you just made, and add this at the bottom

[Video Codec]
profile-desc=cond:p["video-codec"]==hevc
deinterlace=no

[HDR]
profile-desc=cond:p["video-params/primaries"]=="bt.2020"
deinterlace=no

[Interlaced]
profile-desc=cond:p["video-frame-info/interlaced"]
deinterlace=yes

[720p]
profile-desc=cond:p["width"]==1280
deinterlace=no

     7. In Theater, set deinterlacing to no

     8. Set hardware acceleration to auto copyback

 

Enjoy your movies

Thanks. It does enable deinerlacing only when needed. But, how to I stop the dropped frames on my 4k monitor? Is it because most sources are 60fps and the monitor is 30Hz? I'm getting a real bad stutter and audio sync issues when playing video on that 4k monitor. The monitor is attached via HDMI to an ASUS laptop that also has a 4k internal display. 

 

I also should mention, none of the source video is 4k. They are mostly recorded MP4 at 720p at 3k. Or, I could be streaming from the HDHR tuner at whatever the channel is transmitting. The highest I seen there is 1080i at 15k.

The monitor doesn't support 60 at 4k?

[jfgilliam 26]

No, it was cheap

Try setting the refresh rate on your GPU to 23Hz.
