Deinterlace Live TV

Some Live TV channels are interlaced and we would benefit to have an option to deinterlace Live TV. This option can be - experimental - and hidden as appropriate if the Plex Devs believe it to be too troublesome. But I am sure that this feature will become a prominent feature once implemented.

Any form of deinterlace would be appreciated, even frame doubling - with appropriate performance warnings.

No-one uses live tv? no-one has interlaced content issues? This affect Fire TV sticks.

I too would love this. Emby pvr deinterlaces on the server with live TV making the aftv products worthwhile again.

However, the Plex interface is superior

You need to vote for it. Or it might not happen.

You say Emby does deinterlace? I’ve not seen it recently but when I did try it, my interlaced TV feed was not changed. I’ll check it again. Also, I agree about their interface, it’s pretty rubbish for live TV. I’m not convinced that Plex had it right just yet either.

Just tried Emby and yes, an option to deinterlace HD sources now exists (SD was there last time I checked). And the TV guide has improved by a lot. I’ve just spent the best part of the evening playing with it. I’m happy with that. I have both systems setup anyway.
Oh, and Chromecast functionality is amazing. I love what they’ve done. Using the mobile phone as a remote is great. Only downside is it’s a bit slow.
Fire TV stick works brilliant. I’m sold on that.

Yeah, being able to cast live TV anywhere is a game changer.

Just voted.

This is very important to me
