I have access to a number of MPEG-TS IP-sources, matching terrestrial TV in my area (interlaced SD content). I've bought a license for and set-up hardware decoding of MPEG-2 Video and now sources plays back fine -- I've followed Audio/video add-on tutorial and made a list with 10 channels or so.
As MilhouseVH instructed (in Additional Testing Notes), I use DVDPlayer as a default video player. When I start watching TV media stream is opened via DVDPlayer. Media stream, however, is interlaced SD (PAL, 576i) and looks pretty comby in 1080p, and enabling deinterlacing in DVDPlayer seems to do nothing. OMXPlayer does much better, except each time I have to open Video playback settings and have to enable deinterlacing (in addition to go via "Play using..."); not very user-friendly. So my quesion is: can I somehow force "use of OMXPlayer for this content" as well as "deinterlacing enabled for this content"?
Update: Strange, but some channels looks great with default DVDPlayer with no deinterlacing enabled (foreign ones mostly); local channels, tho, looks pretty bad.
