I actually currently have deinterlacing disabled on both xineliboutput and XBMC.
AIUI interlaced fields are encoded as a pair in one field, so for most video players "disabled", ignoring the interlacing flags and treating it as as normal frame is the same as "weave". You usually get quite noticeable combing artifacts with that. "Bob" is more or less an alternative way of doing next to nothing; it displays each field in turn without any attempt to combine them.
Ah, actually looking at config_xinelibeoutput, I think vdr-sxfe automatically enables some vdpau deinterlacing by default (half temporal I think?) and the setting I was looking at on the xineliboutput config isn't relevant. I've switched to bob at your recommendation anyway :)
I haven't noticed any combing artifacts into XBMC, but as I have the 'match display rate to match video' configured, its possible that XBMC is just feeding the TV 1080i output and letting it handle the deinterlacing.
