Evening. Have been noting down some issues lately and took some time to run some logs. The essence is that auto/auto makes some movies stutter, and when I select auto/some method and save "default all movies" other movies that dont support that method revert to auto/auto. so neither solution works on all files. So the suggestion posted earlier to use deinterlace: auto and method: temporal/spatial (half) (aply to all) will fail on movies that dont support temporal/spatial (probably to do with file format but not an expert on that)
Preferably I'd like auto/auto to make all the right selections.
Specs and generic
Asrock ion 330
Openelec 3.0.6 (latest)
Every log I enable logging, reboot and perform the actions below
Deinterlace is on auto all the time
first movie: a DVD (ifo/vob files) that stutters when set to auto deiniterlace/auto method
-rebooted
-navigated through files to the dvd, pressed play
-in menu pressed once to play all
-sound runs fine, no interlacing visiblle but video stutters heavily (fast-slow-fast-slow etc). no cpu maxing out onscreen in debug stats.
-pressed stop, and played it again. this time going to settings and changing both these settings. Some methods provide stable picture but unsure which to choose and why auto/auto fails.

second a movie also DVD (ifo/vob)
-rebooted
-navigated to movie pressed play
-menu navigation to play
-sound plays fine, same stutter as above (fast-slow-fast slow etc) as it is still on auto auto.
-set to aufo deinterlace / method: de-interlace (half), set as default for all
-plays fine then
-navigate to other movie (mkv), plays fine
-go to video options and I see auto/auto, not what I have just set? I get other options like temporal/spatial and the one I hade "deinterlace (half)" is missing
-I select temporal/spatial, set as default for all
-Go back to forst movie (Biba) which now stutters again
-Check settings: it reverted to auto/auto as heree temporal/spatial is unavailable

So I guess that is the issue: auto/auto doesnt work for all files and forcing a deinterlace method on all files fails as not all files support the same deinterlacing methods making xbmc revert to auto/auto.
