Hello,
I am running tvheadend 3.9.2765~g0294882 as backend (OpenELEC 5.0.8 on a separate machine) and Kodi 16 as frontend with tvheadend client on LibreELEC 7.0.2. I have HDHomeRun with 4 tuners. I have Ziggo cable TV in Netherlands, which is all interlaced. So I have to use deinterlacing when I watch Live TV. However, the “Auto” deinterlace method is not adequate for every channel. Some channels are terrible with “Auto” method (choppy, audio ahead of video, etc.) and some are perfect. So for every channel I have to set a different deinterlace method. For example, NPO1 HD channel needs deinterlace method to be “Fast Motion” while BBC1 HD needs “Double rate (inverted)”. Typically SD channels are ok with “Auto”.
So I set the deinterlace method for each channel and Kodi saves the method so that next time I switch to that channel I don’t have to change the method again. However, after I record any channel and playback the recording, the recording does not “save” the selected deinterlace method for the channel that was being recorded. When I playback the recording, I have to remember which deinterlace method is “correct” for that channel and change it manually again.
Is there a way to save the chosen deinterlace method in the recording? Currently the recording stream profile in tvheadend is “pass” = MPEG_TS while live TV streaming for Kodi is using htsp stream profile.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
