No problem. I'm minded to go back to 0.4 as it generally seems a
little slow to respond at the moment.

With respect to deinterlacers, hopefully the extra jitter you've
demonstrated is just a result of system load (in this case GPU rather
than CPU).

The VAAPI/VPP deinterlacers use FFmpeg/libavfilter code to run. These
will only return deinterlaced frames when they have seen at least 2
frames as they need multiple frames to work with. Hence there should,
in theory, be a 1 frame delay inherent in the filter. The same applies
to the OpenGL/shader kernel deinterlacer. It is that delay that I want
to feed back to the player.

The EDID data that is present in most modern displays is a set of
static figures that indicate to the connected device how long it takes
to process video frames prior to display. It just needs to be checked
once at the start of playback.
