Hi there,
+1 for this problem. Interlaced Live-TV seems to run not very smooth, especially compared to the RPi3. I’m watching it with tvheadend and all other clients seem to be fine, so it feels like there could be an issue with the RPi4 deinterlacing. Does anyone have any information concerning that problem?
Thanks a lot!
Hardware deinterlacing isn't implemented for RPi4 yet. It'll come, but no ETA on that.
so long,
Hias
Oh ok,
thanks for the answer. My impression was that it used to be better in previous releases of LibreELEC.
For those watching 1080i content (mostly Live-TV) this is a really crucial feature for the Pi4, especially because it worked superb with Pi3.
Looking forward to the solution! 
Same here. I have a tiny TV with the 7" official touchscreen wich I upgraded from raspi 3b+ to 4b and live tv is still horrible to watch on it. Thanks everyone who picks this up!!! I would love it to be able to use it as a tv with the raspi 4 in it (i also use it as n64 game station, so thats why the pi 4)
How is it now, nearly 1 year later?
Does Deinterlacing (MPEG2 and 1080i) work perfect now?
I want to move from a s905 Box to Pi 4 with latest libreelec so i need to know if i can watch tv without any problems now.
Does Deinterlacing (MPEG2 and 1080i) work perfect now?
nope, deinterlacing is still missing
