I already found the answers to my questions at another forum.
@fritsch
You obviously don't handle the situation very well where somebody (one of your fellow team members) points out a mistake.
Instead you first twist, turn and argue. Then attempt to take what you experience as "the heat" off yourself by redirecting it to me with " - as he basically does not know what he wants to ask :-)".
Which is obviously not taking away the fact that you made a mistake.
You have to learn (some day) that everyone makes mistakes, no matter how experienced they are. And that making the mistake doesn't matter. How you handle it, does.
Thanks very much for your summary. In fact you are right "I can't handle situations very well" when someone does not read _all_ my replies (especially the first one) and judges based on the third follow up.

which exactly happens on video start where rendererer configuration is changed and where additionally settings are loaded, which might be a "Lanczos 3 Optimized" for the video that you want to play (else you could not save scaling settings per video, which are stored in db) and for the other part I gave the answer in the very first post:
fritsch Wrote:The scaling methods is changed instantly - you see that in the log.
So when you use "facts" - judge correctly. Also as you cannot judge about what kodi really does, I am not sure your judgements holds very long ...
What you did not get was the following:
Starting a video is an action user does, but pressing the video button is not the trigger for checking which scaler to use. When playback starts the renderer is reconfigured, so its configuration is changed and that in combination with the above triggers scaler change. This is what fernet said in his reply (streets, rain, etc.). So technically: it has nothing to do with starting of video playback, but with rendering change - and this is caused on the way to video playback.
Basically I feel sorry for simplifying the technical reasons, to make it easy to understand as I thought why should I confuse users with "the renderer" <- nobody knows what kodi's "renderer" is - is the gui renderer meant, is the hwdecrenderer meant, what is a hwdecrender?
But I feel argueing with you does not lead to anywhere. If your question is solved - we are fine and happy.
Next time I will reply: Everytime kodi's renderer is reconfigured!
Then user will ask: Aeehh, yeah and when is it refoncigured, what is the renderer?
Then I will tell you, whenever you change the scaling settings (during video playback) or also when you for example start video playback, which restores your saved scaling settings and reconfigures the renderer.
