Hi Luke,

I already have looked into that and although it looks very promising, this way of doing it is missing the ability to search/replace two segments of text.

For bobbing (these examples were done on my QuickSync server), we'd need to replace:
-filter_complex "[0:1]vpp_qsv@f1=deinterlace=advanced[f1_out0]" to "[0:1]vpp_qsv@f1=deinterlace=bob:fps=50[f1_out0]"
which works fine. However later in the ffmpeg command, we have 
-r:v:0 25 which would also need to be changed to -r:v:0 50.

Is there any hidden syntax or am I missing out on something, because these are in seperate parts of the command and the part in the middle can change.

Alternatively, I would be happy to develop a corresponding plugin to enable all kinds of other deinterlacing options if you would provide me with the resources to do so (probably the source code of the search/replace part of the diagnostic plugin or other ways (a better way) to mess with the transcoding pipeline from a plugins perspective).

I'm very sure a lot of people in the community would appreciate a way of doing that, although not officially supported and experimental.

I have put something together that resembles this function for now in a very bad way.

But it proves that it is clearly possible to enable bobbing server-wide with even way less effort than I had to put into it.
