We've added a fix for the "white line" artefacts https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5925 which will be in today's nightly builds.
Testing here on RPi4 looked good so far, more feedback is always welcome
so long,

5 words: Glorious! Thank you so much!
The SD MPEG2 cartoons watched during the morning routine with my 4yo, my main contact with interlaced content, are now a nice as can be!
RPi 4, btw.
You guys announced deinterlacing as a tough cookie, but you made it look easy from a user POV. You rock!

I'm guessing that it will be on the next nightly, as nightly-20211127-e3a7c06 still gives me the white lines.
I'll eagerly wait, test and report back!

downloaded, upgraded.
Tests with UK FTA DVB-T and -T2 TV
BBC 1 HD - 1080i50 H.264 - Looking great!
Tiny POP - 576i50 MPEG2 - Looking mostly good! (well, as good at 576i can... But it is deinterlaced!). There are sometime some weird artefacts, white lines, more or less where there was movement. See video below. Not ideal, but less annoying than interlaced to my eyes. The artefacts may be present in 1080i, but I could not see them.

Here are 2 sample TS snippets for you guys to play with, if that helps:

Not great content, but cartoons help highlight the artefacts!
Would a debug log help you?
Out of curiosity, what deinterlacing method is being used?
In any case, the head scratching was very productive, thanks! -
oh crap... The whitelist... What a dummy! So sorry!
I had forgotten to recreate it after a complete reinstall due to a card gone bad...
Yes, the whitelist fixes it!
I will also reapply the force_turbo=1
Thanks, and sorry again for the trouble

FWIW, nightly-20211124-7ef3241 is the same as 20211122-599fb05. I've just checked.

Using 20211122-599fb05.
debug log with this sample on local SD card: http://ix.io/3G0A
The very big A/V sync issue is the same from the SD Card.

This debug log was captured while playing 3 different videos, using nightly-20211119-5e534d
- a local file, mp4 container, avc video, aac audio - massive drift, 2 A/V sync events
- a BBC iPlayer (iPlayer_www official add-on) stream - massive drift, 1 A/V sync event
- A local file, MKV container, H.264 video, E-AC3 audio - No drift, in sync, always
Debug log / pastekodi: https://youplala.net/~nico/le10-bad…di-20211119.txt
Video 1 made the system very angry: no video or sound, screen flickering somehow
Video 2: 10+ s until the video comes on after a black screen. THERE ARE BAD A/V SYNC issues!
Video 3: 10+ s until the video comes on after a black screen. No a/v sync issues
So, worse than I thought previously!
-
I will provide a debug log in 30min or so for nightly-20211119-5e534d

It's always useful to report when an issue starts with nightlies. If you can report a latest good and oldest bad build it might help narrow it down.
I've gone back in time.
Which reminded me of one thing... The bad A/V sync on some videos started when a bad video start (audio start but black screen for 10s) issue got fixed (I didn't report it, it lasted for a week or two, please don't ask me to go back in time that far!).
I remember reading this and thinking "that may fix my bad video start..." and it did: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5888 This may be completely unrelated, I'm a numpty.
A/V sync Video start with no picture nightly-20211119-5e534d GOOD BAD nightly-20211120-62b201b BAD GOOD I'm hoping that will help!

Hello!
This is a problem that has happened a few months earlier on the nightlies and that got fixed, but it is coming back. Well, it may be a different cause with similar results.
Some streams or files nearly instantly develop massive A/V sync delays. By massive, I mean a few seconds, very rapidly. There is a forceful sync happening once in a while, with a video pause, and then it prodigiously drifts again.This debug log was captured while playing 3 different videos:
- a local file, mp4 container, avc video, aac audio - massive drift, 2 A/V sync events
- a BBC iPlayer (iPlayer_www official add-on) stream - massive drift, 1 A/V sync event
- A local file, MKV container, H.264 video, E-AC3 audio - No drift, in sync, always

You get bonus credit if you submit the fix upstream to the add-on repo on GitHub
Here I think? https://github.com/melmorabity/plugin.video.francetv/
Makes sense, silly me!
https://github.com/melmorabity/pl…ancetv/issues/4
I've learned that I can directly fork, edit and make a PR without leaving the GitHub web interface.
My first fork and PR ever!
https://github.com/melmorabity/plugin.video.francetv/pull/5What have you done? You've made me learn new tricks before it's even 7AM!
Another round of bonus points?

Hello!
The official FranceTV add-on hs a typical bug these days:
PythonError Type: <class 'AttributeError'> Error Contents: module 'xbmc' has no attribute 'translatePath' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/addon_entry.py", line 21, in <module> from resources.lib.addon import FranceTVAddon File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/resources/lib/addon.py", line 61, in <module> class FranceTVAddon: File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.francetv/resources/lib/addon.py", line 64, in FranceTVAddon _ADDON_DIR = xbmc.translatePath(_ADDON.getAddonInfo("path")) AttributeError: module 'xbmc' has no attribute 'translatePath'
Simple (simplistic?) fix: in
add, where the existing imports are:
and, line 65, change

I'm a rusty coder, so that change may not be the best. It's what works for me after Googling for the error I was getting.

Things are still at the "frequently scratching head" stage of making it work so I wouldn't get too excited just yet.
"frequently scratching head" is a start. A start is good! It's several steps above "it's on the to-do list, we'll get to that point one day". It's positive movement!

Ooooh, signs of deinterlacing life! YAY! How exciting!
As the owner of a 4yo watching kids UK channels on SD live TV, I can't wait! I don't watch myself, but my eyes hurt every time they look in the TV's direction!
