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!
Yes, exactly. It's Nov 28 here and the builds will start in a few hours, so nightly-20211128-... will have it. Timezones can be a bit confusing in international communications, so I better should have used the term "next"

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

If you press the "TAB" key on your keyboard while an audio or video file is playing playback is backgrounded and you can navigate through menus. Pressing TAB again (or selecting "Full Screen" option in menu) will bring it to the foreground again.
You can also map that function to a button on your remote (it's the "FullScreen" kodi action).

noggin IIRC the videocore code uses some hardware acceleration so I think you were about right. I'm not really familiar with all the gory details of the closed-source firmware blob and RPi folks will probably correct me if I got some details wrong

The "RPi4" in the filename should give you a hint why it doesn't work on an RPi3

Either use the LE9.2 RPi2 build or the latest RPi2 nightly build (beware: this is experimental LE11 stuff) from https://test.libreelec.tv/ (RPi2 builds will work on RPi3, too).

"MMAL advanced" is borderline/too much for 1080i, therefore it's done using bob which needs fewer resources (memory bandwidth especially).
I'm not 100% sure about RPi0-3 but ISTR they had similar issues - except for test streams I don't have any 1080i content here.
RPis don't have a hardware deinterlace block therefore this is being done by software running on the videocore CPU - and that code is the same on all RPis.

camelreef thanks a lot for testing and the samples!
I've noticed the glitches on MPEG2 SD material, too, and popcornmix already has an idea what could be causing that - it might be related to software decoding, H264 hardware decoded videos don't seem to have those glitches (at least we haven't noticed them there yet).
So no need for a debug log ATM

IIRC SD content will use the "advanced" deinterlacer, HD will use bob, of the videocore chip - pretty much the same as on RPi2/3 with LE9.2

I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do that. Best check through PINN's readme https://github.com/procount/pinn/blob/master/README_PINN.md and the PINN support thread on the RPi forum https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=142574 - if you have questions better post there, I never used PINN myself yet (and IIRC none of the other LE developers did either).

Which build did you download? We don't provide official LE10 builds for RPi0-3, only RPi4.

FYI: the latest development version of the deinterlace patches are now in LE master, today's RPi4 testbuild (http://test.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi4…126-8797e08.tar) already includes them. RPi2 testbuild with these patches will follow tomorrow.

It sounds like you are searching for PINN or NOOBS https://github.com/procount/pinn
You'll find more info about these on the RPi forums https://forums.raspberrypi.com/

I just noticed 2 more things in the log:
The file is a 50fps video, you may need force_turbo=1 in config.txt for smooth playback.
And you don't seem to have 1920x1080 / 50 Hz in your whitelist so 3840x2160 / 30Hz is chosen - which usually doesn't work well with 50fps files. Add that mode to the whitelist - and better also set kodi gui to 1920x1080/60Hz

The logs show you were playing from NFS. Can you test if you have the same issue when playing from a local USB drive?
If yes then a short sample file (1 minute or so) that has the issue would be nice.
20211120-62b201b also includes ffmpeg changes https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5889 and I'm suspecting they could be causing the issue. If that's the case our ffmpeg guru will need a sample to reproduce and analyze the issue.

I see similar behaviour (LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20211117-df8716a.tar):
video freezes for a few seconds while audio continues, then suddenly video catches up. When the video has finished playing the last frame is still displayed until I explicitly stop it.
Thanks for the log, I could reproduce the VIDIOC_DQEVENT errors and PR'ed a fix for it https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5888

The fix for the kms driver is still missing, so this is expected.
