Hi,
thanks for the Fire TV Version, finally "Kodi" within the store, easely updateable, more stable, more how I would Kodi on Android always to be

Ok at least I guess regarding stability as I only had bought the Apple TV Version, but returned the TV as Amazon Prime was missing...
Now that this is released, I'm really curious to have it on my Fire TV2 to test. Just before I buy it on that platform I would like to know what deinterlacing options the FireTV version has? If it is only bob and bob-inverted, are you planning to implement some more advanced methods in future versions?
Thanks for this great Software
Regards
Vlaves

bob and bob-inverted are the only options. The others require much more ponies than pretty much any android/ios/tvos device can provide. However there does seem to be some work for more advanced deinterlacers in ffmpeg. We just have to wait and see what those bring.

Thanks for the quick response
But I see those deinterlacing options being renamed from "deinterlace" to "yadif" and added in SPMC. And as far as I understood, this deinterlacing is for also not done in hardware, as on the Shield (koyings main platform) hardware deinterlacing is not provided.
So I thought it is done in software completely... See here:

Maybe on a Fire TV 2, "yadif half" could be done in Software, which would still be better then bob or bob-inverted, right?
Only in case of course if the obove link is doing what I think it is adding to SPMC

Thought so, so wanted to point it out and of course I hope you will be able in case it is working to port/sync it to MrMC. I guess for the AFTV2 this might be working in software only, at least I hope

Just bought MrMC for the Fire TV too so wanted to ask if more advanced deinterlacing options are coming to MrMC? Did you have a chance to look at it?
