SMPlayer Support Forum

I am on debian and i haven't ever been able to get the deinterlace working with mpv. They work fine with mplayer. But i think maybe they do deinterlacing differently or something. Unless i have to enable deinterlace a different way for mpv.

It works for me. What versions of mpv and smplayer are you using?

I am using mpv version 0.22.0 and the latest smplayer from your ppa 16.11. And what i do is select the deinterlace from the right click menu when i notice it. But that does not work no matter how many times i try it. Ive actually been having that problem for sometime now. Ive tryed to compile both from source as well and still no fix.

Could you send the smplayer log (in the View menu) after selecting the deinterlace filter?

This is where i change the filter .
[03:47:39:060] PlayerProcess::writeToStdin: vf add "lavfi=[pp=l5]"
[03:47:39:084] MPVProcess::parseLine: 'Option vf-del: Item not found'
[03:47:39:114] MPVProcess::parseLine: 'Opening video filter: [lavfi graph=pp=l5]'
[03:47:39:119] MPVProcess::parseLine: 'Using conversion filter.'
[03:47:39:128] MPVProcess::parseLine: 'Image formats incompatible or invalid.'
[03:47:39:128] MPVProcess::parseLine: 'Video filter chain:'

[03:47:39:128] MPVProcess::parseLine: ' [scale] ??? [a] <---'
[03:47:39:129] MPVProcess::parseLine: ' [lavfi] "lavfi.00" ???'
[03:47:39:129] MPVProcess::parseLine: ' [out] ???'

It does that with any of them i choose.

Maybe the deinterlace filter is not compatible with vdpau.

Im not using vdpau im using opengl-hq with the settings of vo=opengl-hq:deband=no:es=no. I have also tryed using just mpv with the same settings and deineralce does work correctly that way. Maybe the deinterlace works differently with that mode or something and smplayer is using the wrong mode.

Edit of above i guess i had it on auto select for hardware decoder so what you said could be true. Vdpau might be causing it i switched it to none then ran the deinterlace filter on some video and it seems a bit better.
