I ended up giving up on deinterlacing completely. It seems the DVDPlayer gives no video just audio when deinterlacing is enabled on all of my mpeg-2 videos. Looking back through this thread I can see other people have had this issue. I can also say that using OMXPlayer there are still issues with deinterlacing enabled. The audio drops out randomly and the screen blinks black for a second. It seems completely random. I can rewind the video and it won't happen at the same spot. I am also experiencing lock ups after playing 1080i .ts mpeg-2 files for a while. When disabling deinterlacing, ALL of these issues are gone. Deinterlacing used to work before Openelec 4.0 for me.
I saw a previous post where popcorn mix recommended increasing the gpu_mem to 256 for a 512MB Pi. I have this setting already so I'm not sure how else to work around this. It seems with the new gpu hardware acceleration there is some sort of limitation being reached on the Pi. Could it be that even more gpu_mem is needed? Can I safely go above 256MB?
