</span>I wonder what the state of Kodi is with regard to VAPPI and the better<br>
de-interlacers. Might be worth looking into if you are one of those<br>
people that will notice the difference.<br>
<br>
FWIW, I switched to Kodi (with the Myth PVR addon) a few months ago<br>
when my upgrade to 0.28[1] started causing the MythFE to studder and<br>
stammer (badly) on the exact same hardware and content as 0.27 was<br>
working just fine. I haven't looked back. Albeit this is on ION<br>
hardware, not Intel Graphics.<br>

</span>Yes, this is one of the unfortunate downsides of FOSS, particularly<br>
with projects that have not taken on a $day_job paying sponsor because<br>
said project fits into their income producing scheme somehow. And<br>
particularly with smaller, less popular projects.<br>

[1] Which required an O/S upgrade since the O/S version I was on with<br>
0.27 was not supported for 0.28, and I am sure an Nvidia driver upgrade<br>
also. But ultimately, Kodi is playing all of the content, on the same<br>
hardware, using VDPAU that MythFE (0.28, but not 0.27) was studdering<br>
and stammering on, so the hardware and drivers are capable. MythFE was<br>
just incapable for whatever reason.<br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
