So - in layman's terms - the AMLogic code is effectively a black box with few user controls. You send data into it and pictures come out of it at the other end. (Presumably these images are deinterlaced if they are flagged as interlaced?) If there is a problem with the hardware decoding, only AMLogic can fix it.

Yeah - it does all that "automagically". If automagic failes - not much left to do. All this 24p stuff, which the kernel is heavily involved, talking with the decoder. Imagine fps estimation goes wrong or real world problems with files. That being said: there is for sure things left that can be done to improve such things. But it needs to be clear: if there is a sever issue only AMLogic themselves can fix that with yet another patch / blob update here and there. I hope we get the kodi integration a bit less "black boxy" so that player which has a lot of sync mechanisms and tricks to get stuff playing smoothly better involved.

Edit: But this has nothing to do with the Wetek Core only - just to make that clear. I found very few files when I tested the box this morning, that worked really bad - so it's for sure a very good playback device. But if one is interested in the last tunable bits ... see above.
