Is there any other setting we can work on regarding the eHd outputs, even if they are not listed in the reelbox-3 setup ?
Not really. You can either use upscaling without deinterlacing (and get tearing for real interlaced moving signals) or use the chips "deinterlacer". That is effectively independent scaling of both fields, so the field order is correct, but fine details show horizontal ghost lines as the interpolation doesn't know anything about the full context. It depends a bit on the display how visible these lines can be seen, some displays seem to have their own filtering and hide them better.
Ok, will try to improve a little bit on the display side (i.e. bring my test machine to a couple of friend's houses and test with different VPRs, plasmas). I haven't found much documentation for my particular hardware, but it looks like scaling from 480i and 576i isn't really what it is best at ....
There is a third possibility that is currently not settable: Blending. That mixes both fields together. So still pictures are sharp and movements are "only" blurred and not teared. I can enable it in a "experimental" linux.bin.
That would be great, and if you manage to get a test build I would be willing to experiment
BTW: We chose the DeCypher despite "a real" deinterlacer was missing at the time, because we were told that it will be enabled later. The rest is history...
Alas, that happens too often with manufacturers
You can output 576i over HDMI and let the display do the deinterlacing. But there is a dependency with the analog output that allows only 576p when the analog port should emit 576i (CVBS etc.). For 576i over HDMI you need to switch the analog port completely off.
Understood.
I guess the vdr 1.7 has it's own intelligence about frame-precise playback for TS that doesn't match the requirements of the plugin... It took us quite a while to make it work almost as responsive as on the FF, maybe there are some dependencies with our "old" 1.4. But up to now, I had no time to try 1.7...
Well, while this looks like a show stopper for other users, it really isn't for me (and my users) since we mainly use the skip fwd and skip backward functions when replaying
Thanks and regards
