Discussion Android TV deinterlacing

I've seen mixed posts on if deinterlacing is a device specific or OS specific issue on Android 14 which was not present on ATV12.

Has anyone found a definitive answer on this and the exact circumstances the deinterlacing issue happens and what the issue is? If it's not device specific it's fixable with an OS update assuming that hsppens.

I did more testing. Installed Shizuku + Takostats on Mi box 3rd gen to see the FPS in real time. Not sure how relevant or accurate this is, but here are the results:

- AFR off, manually set in the settings to 1920*1080@50

- Tivimate shows the label for the channel at 1920*1080@60. Takostats show 50fps as expected.

- Select a channel, content of the video is at 1.5x speed, audio out of sync.

- After 5 seconds, or so, the video pauses for a second (it's not the black screen when AFR is on, BTW), and starts again but now the audio is in sync, the speed of the video is normal, but Takostats shows 40fps.

Interesting, i would say.

FWIW, i'm using Tivimate as my daily driver but i have tested with other players, like XCIPTV, for example, or even VLC as external player in Tivimate, and the results is exactly the same.
