VAAPI only runs fairly good with this configuration.

I can't select in H264 and MPEG2 the deinterlacing method, only with Xvid. What can I do?
I need deinterlacing mainly for live TV.

Post a Debug Log. Most likely no one has ever tested VAAPI-BOB on your hardware. I would suggest: "Disable Prefer VAAPI Render Method" - then you should be able to select normal Bob or even yadif (Deinterlace) for that CPU.

I would have liked to use hardware decoding. Am I the only one who an onboard graphics from Intel GMA 4500 used?

Below is the debug log file.

kodi.log

Not be disturbed by the xvdr error message had no tv tuner connected.

What fritsch has said won't disable hardware decoding, just hardware de-interlacing. They are two separate processes. You can keep VAAPI decoding enabled, but disabling VAAPI rendering will allow for software de-interlacing.

[fritsch]

@hogin86: You don't have another chance anyways. Your GPU does not support VPP at all. So the mentioned solution is everything we can offer.

Edit: And btw. you can keep the Prefer Render enabled. It will be automatically switched off, if BOB or Deinterlace is chosen.

[hogin86]

Ok, I have to settle for that. I still thanks for the help.

Is it possible to deinterlace method for Live-TV regardless of the rest to define? I imagine that went with an older version XBMC.

[fritsch]

I did not get that last question, you can always set "Save for all movies". Don't set Deinterlace to On, always use Auto
