Hi,

I was wondering, are there any plans to improve pulldown detection in
xine's tvtime deinterlace plugin? In particular, it only works for 3:2
pulldown. Unfortunately, if you live in a PAL world (which uses 2:2
pulldown usually for film sources), this is completely useless...
dscaler seems to be the only open-source project which can do it.
(This would be very useful for things like vdr using xinelib to decode
the video, since quite a lot of the DVB content streamed is really
progressive, but there's no way to detect this since you can just forget
the progressive frame flag - some HD channels (which always transmit for
instance in 720p50) may set this but I believe no SD channel ever will
have that flag set. It's a bit annoying you'd have to disable/enable the
deinterlacer manually whenever you change the channel or the content
changes for best quality...).
