On my pc I only deinterlacing if I select it. It's not grayed out and I thought I had hardware decoding.
Same with my phone actually. I had to select deinterlace.
Am I skipping a step somewhere?
No, I didn't do anything special. I can't explain how, but I am able to watch MPEG2 with deinterlacing grayed out and set to off. I even took pvr software out of the picture and played the files directly. Still play fine. My settings are mostly defaults.
However, I did discover something interesting. Deinterlacing is only grayed out when Libstagefright is turned on. Using Software decoding or ONLY MediaCodec makes it available. If both LibstageFright & MediaCodec are on, it's grayed out. Also, Skip Fwd/Back is blurry & slower when Libstagefright is enabled. Which seems odd if there's no hardware acceleration for MPEG2.
