Currently you can enable VDPAU scaling only in advancedsettings.xml
What I don't understand is why is it used even for 1080p movies (just a guess because I have lot of frames dropped when it's enabled, not if it's disabled)
Is scaling really needed for videos with 1920x... resolution for 1080p display?

Is this a bug or intended behaviour? In the latter case, could we let user enable vdpau scaling only up to selected resolution (480p/720p/1080p)?

for example:
<vdpauscaling>720</vdpauscaling> would use vdpau scaling only for videos <= 720p resolution

Why not just use the shaders instead.

with my system I can only set to bilinear or nearest neighbour without getting choppy framerate (bicubic/auto etc.) and vdpau scaling is noticeably better for 720p/sd than these two. auto used to work few months ago, but since that it just stops working (ie constantly 16.67 fps instead of 25) after some time video is running.
