Hello,
Can anyone tell me why was “Bob (inverted)” deinterlace method removed from Kodi 17?
I found this change by FernetMenta: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/7602…ce6d038fb7
I am using Cubox and in Kodi 16.1 I had options of “Double rate” and “Double rate (inverted)” in addition to two other deinterlace methods. Those are the only two methods I needed for watching live TV (Ziggo cable in Netherlands). About half the interlaced channels need “Double rate” and the other half need “Double rate (inverted)” to look correct.
In Kodi 17 (for imx6) there is no “Double rate” but there is “Bob”. Now I know from testing that “Bob” is the same as “Double rate”. However, there is no “Bob (inverted)” which I need for about half the channels. The channels that use “Double rate (inverted)” in Kodi 16.1 do not look correct in Kodi 17 with any of the available methods, which are: Bob, Bob (hafl), imx Advanced, imx Advanced (half).
So I need the “Bob (inverted)” method back. Can I revert the changes in the link above and compile my own version to get this method back?
