My Ugoos AM6 is running CoreELEC nightly. Since I acquired the box last year I don’t think it has every played 1080i VC-1 that well, with obvious stutter in the video.
Today I noticed that if I set HW acceleration to “exclude 24p”, playback of 1080/50i plays with software decoding - the CPU level spikes and the video setting to allow user selection of deinterlacing method is activated. Something in the playback logic might have a bug there? If I set acceleration to Always I still get obvious stutter artefacts in the video, so neither option gives an acceptable result.
Given that the OSMC folks have managed to combine hardware acceleration with user control of deinterlacing for perfect VC-1 playback with maximum resolution (no deinterlacing artefacts) on their Vero boxes, I wonder if it might be possible for the Ugoos as well?
I have several systems, looking to maximise functionality of each box I run. For my TVs with heavy family use I really need one box to avoid confusion. Does NO have full support for DV yet on the AMB6+ ? The NO thread has more than 2000 posts so if you happen to know that would be helpful to confirm.
