" Deinterlace
This allows Plex Media Player to attempt to deinterlace media that is interlaced."
under video settings. I have the player settings up and its not there. I have show advanced enabled. I clicked it a few times to be sure. In fact the only setting under “Video” is
“Use Hardware Decoding
Hardware decoding may improve video playback performance. Disable this setting if you encounter unexpected playback problems.”
I looked over the document to make sure it wasn’t referencing some other player but as far as I can read, it appears that this should be there.
What is wrong? Why is there apparently a mismatch between the player and this article?
The article refers to the Plex Media Player. You’re running the “Plex for Windows” desktop client. The Plex Media Player can currently only be downloaded from the related release announcements while the “Plex for Windows” client is linked on the official download page.
basically… the Plex Media Player is focusing on using Plex as a HTPC with a user interface optimized for that use case (directly connecting the PC’s video output to your TV, e.g. via HDMI, navigation with a connected remote etc.). Plex for Windows is “just” an app to play the video on a “regular PC”. It looks more or less like Plex Web but has better support for more audio/video codecs compared to that.
having working in offices, it is way more work to split your reasorces like that. Its weird that they would have such diffrent code for a simple UI swap. It is weird that two products that do the same thing would have greatly different feature sets.
