I run Kodi 17.6 on my Surface Pro 2, and have come across an issue when I play ripped blu-ray copy of Doctor Who: The Next Doctor. The frame footage was jumpy, so I automatically assume it must be a PAL to NTSC frame rate issue. I did a little bit of research and found that if I turn DXVA2 on then the footage plays fine.
The reason I had DXVA2 off in the first place was because I read on Lifehacker that turning that setting off improves the upscaling quality of SD to HD. I watched a few seconds of an episode of MST3k (SD ripped off the DVD) with DXVA2 on and noticed some slight artifacting. I turned DXVA2 off, rewatched the footage and it was better.
Now, I could easily turn DXVA2 on for when I want to watch a Doctor Who special, and then turn it right back off when I'm done with it, but is there a way to streamline this?
Thank you for any suggestions.
