Select different deinterlace algorithms for RPI

[derlange2k]

Hi,

great plugin, I use it on my RPI4. I'm wondering, which deinterlacer the plugin uses on a raspberry pi 4? I've read, that there are some different algorithms with different quality. BOB is the fastet, but bwdif seems to have the highest quality. Which one is used from the plugin? Maybe it would be a good option to select the deinterlacer in the plugin setup menu.

Also, would it be possible to integrate a setup option for setting the resolution? in the rpihddevice plugin this is possible. I've to set the resolution in the config.txt on my raspberry pi 4, however this seems to be a "legacy" option.

Thank you again for your work.

Atm, the plugin chooses a hardware deinterlacer for hardware decoded material, which should be h264 and h265 on rpi4 and h265 on rpi5. It's ffmpegs deinterlace_v4l2m2m.
Software decoded material uses bwdif as software deinterlacer. There is no plan to make a change here...

You can set the resolution with command line option. If you really mean the setup menu, i can't imagine the benefit. Maybe i could look how to integrate it, but this has low priority.

Thanks for your feedback btw...

Thank you for clearing the deinterlace stuff out.

For the Video Resolution, from a end-user perspective, Setting it in the Setting Menu is far more Natural and easy.

Imagine, some beginner changes his TV and has to deal with editing scripts on a Shell. Seems very hard to do for a non-technical Person.

Setting the Resolution with the Remote Control should be the way to Go.

However, i do understand, that this would be a Feature that is not a TOP priority.

Thank you.
