The ask: Any way to get deinterlacing serverside for 1080i streams?
Why: 1080i live tv streams to certain devices (ie AFTV2) have significant combing artifacts.
Solution: maybe allow a deinterlace option under the dvr settings when selecting the experimental “transcode all”
When I do select transcode all, the combing artifacts are improved but not complete removed.
Unfortunately it is client dependant. Software or Hardware transcoder?
The DVR settings have a post processing script and while not specifically what you were looking for I did find this which might give you a start:
I’m trying to use the Postprocessing Script feature on the PlexDVR
[07%20PM]
to process the .ts files recorded from my HomeRun Quatro. I want to automatically reencode them as h.264 mp4 files using ffmpeg.
ffmpeg -i $file.ts -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -f $file.mp4
I think this may be the right ffmpeg code to do the job, but I’m not sure of a few things.
I imagine this needs to be saved in a .sh file and put on my synology, but I’m not sure of the filepaths for Synology Diskstations. I …
Yeah the client dependency is what I am trying to avoid. Trying to find a way to have all live TV streams be progressive.
Do you think there is a way to add the deinterlacing script for live tv that’s being transcoded?
I can understand why this isn’t default or a settings option, it would raise the system requirements considerably. I also don’t see a way around differentiating between live and dvr so any stream would be deinterlaced. The question then becomes do you have enough system requirements for all your concurrent streams. You would need close to a 10,000 passmark CPU or QSV capable Broadwell or later.
