Kodi 16 had deinterlace method “Software-Blend”, this was the only option which was usable on my old Lenovo-X61T with GMA950 for MPEG2 1080i (HDV camcorder videos). All other deinterlace methods produced jerky video playback (even though K-Lite codec pack deinterlaces with ease, not stressing CPU).
Just installed KODI 17, and there are only 2 deinterlace options: “Deinterlace” and “Deinterlace-Half”. Both jerky on older GMA950.
