Right now, I use my Plex setup as a means to catalog and view my MythTV recordings, and my devices are mostly Apple (with a Roku and Kindle Fire HD mixed in). &nbsp;The issue is that none of these devices natively support automatic deinterlacing of video, while my local TV signals tend to be interlaced. &nbsp;Is there a way, in PlexConnect, that I can force the server to always deinterlace, or is this a client setting? &nbsp;TV recordings are unwatchably jittery without it, although forcing on the transcoder works (is there a setting to force this on?).

&nbsp;

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You can force transcoding on all playback from the client side. &nbsp;Look in the ATV PlexConnect settings menu. &nbsp;
