Description

Several of my channels from tvheadend doesn't seem to work in Showtime. If I do a dump from tvheadend and try to play it directly in Showtime it seems a little bit better, but it's in slow motion. Se attached dump.

I think your GPU is too slow to do temporal / spatial deinterlacing for 1080i. That's atleast the case for mine (GeForce 9400)

Try this patch and see if it helps: http://pastebin.com/ExH9Cyj5

I guess that explains it. The patch doesn't make it work for me, but comparing Showtime with XBMC I can get similar behaviour in XBMC if I change the "Interlaced handling" to "Temporal/Spatial". When it works in XBMC I've got it set to "Auto - ION Optimized".

This is on Asrock 330HT (http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overview.asp?Model=ION%20330HT).
Intel® Atom™ 330 1.6GHz (Dual core)

Any thoughts on implementing support for other kind of deinterlacing that would work with a slower GPU?

Yeah I think it should just be an option. Should be easy enuf to fix
