OTOH, you also get to mix them as you want... I'm inclined to add a flag and use it as nothing more than a hint. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.

This seemed to confuse gxine >> as much as gxine had confused me. Speaking of Greedy2Frame, now that I've managed to enable it I'm not at all impressed with it after all. I remember reading a message (in the VDR mailing list IIRC) saying that MPlayer didn't have any good deinterlacers like Greedy2Frame. However, like xine, MPlayer can use the ffmpeg one which IME is excellent. > Hmm, interesting... not a major problem, but nevertheless something to look > at sometime. > >>>> And is gui.post_plugins.deinterlace a synonym for gui.post_plugins.video? >>> No. > >> I think there's a case for merging them.

BTW, when using "new" style deinterlacing the "i" key doesn't seem to do anything. Shouldn't it now toggle deint pp filters on and off if they're being used instead of the old xv deinterlacer? -- The address in the Reply-To is genuine and should not be edited.
