I'm asking the question here because I've already searched extensively and tried every setting I can find.
I'm using Kodi 17.3 installed on a new Fire TV and feeding that into a 1080p display.
Everything that comes out of the fire TV is 1080p.
PROBLEM: Interlaced based videos (specifically 1080i blu-rays or recorded LIVE TV) look pretty crappy. The combing artifacts are significant and I'm at a loss how to get rid of them. There are really no settings in the built-in Kodi player. I tried turning off the hardware acceleration, but that just makes things super choppy and unwatchable.
I tried a couple of other players (VLC and some other player) and they look about the same.
On my HTPC (with Kodi and MPC-HC) I get great playback because I can adjust the output to interlaced, but I can't do this with the Fire TV.
Am I stuck with this? Is there an external player that I can use that handles interlaced video scaled to 1080p so that it looks decent?
Thanks in advance.
