You need to us the decode filter.xml https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2840569

OK, I will search and try to unpack that instruction.  I've pulled my decodefilter.xml file off the AFTV for editing.  

The advancedsettings.xml method is 'the wrong way' or is it not expected to work?

Is this related to MPEG2 Interlacing problem?  My MPEG2 BluRays (all 2 of them) play fine as hardware and software progressive decode.  DVD ISOs seem to have the problem.  I suspect the Amazon Recast stores something as interlaced MPEG2 (ATSC MPEG2 Interlaced option) -- wouldn't that mean that Amazon will have to fix this issue?

[Edit: Several external sources that are tracking the issue of MPEG2 hardware decoding of interlaced video are reporting that Amazon has acknowledge the bug and will be issuing a fix by the end of Q2 ... So, traditionally, by July.  Many folks are justifiably skeptical.]

Thanks!
