I've noticed in recent test builds (including #0819) that Video setting -> 'Set as default for all media' for 'Deinterlace method' doesn't seem to be retained over a power cycle or libreelec restart, although it does affect all other video files until you restart.
The other settings (I checked 'Zoom amount') are retained over a restart.
I know RPi deinterlace is in active development in these builds and automaticaly setting it to 'auto' on restart helps get more community debug time, but hopefully this is only for debugging and won't also affect mainline when the changes get merged.
In my case, deinterlace still doesn't work 100% reliably for PVR use cases using OMX player (skipping forward/back over changes in aspect ratio causes OMX to lock up, although MMAL is now fixed).
IMO OMX still has slightly better picture quality and smoother playback with the files I use (UK DVB-S/S2/T/T2 recordings).
The slightly lower CPU usage also plays better with a wi-fi connection to my mythbackend when running on B/B+/Zero.
