Then let me try again ...
To simulate the "Use SW Filter for VAAPI" behaviour in helix, the following settings need to be selected
- Video -> Acceleration: Disable Prefer VAAPI Render Method
- While Playing a Video:
Set Deinterlace: Auto
Deinterlacing-Method: BOB (_not_ the VAAPI BOB) or De-Interlace (More cpu load, high quality).
-> Save for all movies
Background:
When watching interlaced Content and MCDI / VAAPI-BOB or MCDI is selected this would implicitely use the VAAPI Render Method, which causes the issues on the chromebox. Don't choose the GPU deinterlacers if you want to workaround those hangs.
