"dc: amc-h264" it's Hardware deinterlacing, or not?

mpeg2 it's old format ,but i think can be add to OMX layer.

I would like to know if its inferior Bob Software (ff-mpeg) or Hardware deinterlacing ?
The Video OSD settings will also give it away. If the Video deinterlacing options Pop up that indicates Software deinterlacing.

Kodi report :
h.264 = dc: amc-h264(S)

SMPC report:
dc: amc-h264

i not understand the "S", which is the difference amc-h264 vs amc-h264(S)?
S stands for surface I believe, beyond that I've never seen an explanation of the differences between the two.

for Q10 pro the "S" it's a bigger difference of image quality:
with kodi ( dc: amc-h264(S) ) Expressx engine work ( see split demo on/off image )

with spmc ( dc: amc-h264 ) not :-( ,but i suppose koying can fix it.

re the micro-stuttering. Have they fixed or at least acknowledged its a priority fix yet ?
Did you find this happens only on certain file formats/encodings/resolution or affects everything?

I'm reluctant to buy until at least this very basic requirement of a media player is sorted.

Does it have a Source Direct mode or is everything processed forced throu its Imprex engine? (can it be bypassed)

Thanks

Micro-stuttering isn't fixed yet. The behavior on pre-production sample is a little different than what we're seeing in production... so this issue is being re-visited w/HiMedia. The result is same though w/slight speed-ups, microstutters, frame-skips every so often (noticed a dozen or so times in a full movie). On pre-production, it seemed to have a pattern; on production, not sure yet.

On Imprex engine, yes, it can be fully disabled.

Down to two really... HiMedia Q10 Pro or Intel MVC. Prefer latter as it's an integrated solution. Prefer former for 4K for now, but minimal content anyway. Will get interesting if we get true UHD BD rips.

Dune, Zappiti, M8R, Popcorn Hour ... all stale. Clunky jukeboxes? Sluggy, dated UI's? ... fuhgeddaboudit! Smile

Well there's the rub...

Do you want near perfect playback with a Clunky Jukebox / File list UI

or a great Kodi UI with broken playback !?

Wink

Both. Don't be greedy!

What do you mean by broken playback?
As far as I know the Chromebox is a perfect Kodi Box and the 3D MVC Build with Windows is just in his Alpha stage, the Himedia Q10 Pro just got release and from what I am hearing, only a few things need to fix.
