[vlc-devel] toggling deinterlacing on the fly

[Stephan Assmus]

Hi,

Though I think that deinterlacing should be done automatically 
depending on the input stream, I would like to achieve on-the-fly 
activation of the deinterlacing module. I'm still kind of new to the 
vlc config functions. It appears to me that the whole vout has to be 
restarted in order for config changes to take effect. What strikes me 
as one simple (intermediate?) solution is this: Why not have a 
deinterlacing method "off", which deactivates the deinterlacer (causes 
it to pass the pictures unfiltered). Any insights as to why this would 
be a bad idea or maybe undesirable? I would then install the 
deinterlacer permanently, toggling its active status by the 
deinterlacing method. One remaining issue is this: how is the 
deinterlacer informed of changes to "deinterlace-mode"?

What's the plan for this, is this problem already solved on other 
platforms?

Best regards,
-Stephan
