So, the problem is there. Is there anything I can do about it?<br>
Ok, going back to NVidia is also an option, of course... :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I created a playback profile in MythTV that basically just uses opengl for everything where applicable, and ffmpeg (i.e. software) for decoding. IIRC, I think I have de-interlacing disabled, as either broadcast in my area is not interlaced, or my TV does it for me. It sounds like de-interlacing is a hard requirement for you, so you'll have to do experiments to see if the CPU alone is good enough (well, I'm sure it can do basic de-interlacing, but I guess the question is, can it do the same quality as vaapi or vdpau).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not at home now, and can't remember the exact settings of my playback profile, but can send them to you later if you're interested. I'd bet that the only reason you'd need to go back to nvidia is if your CPU can't do deinterlacing to your standard.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Depending on how much time you have, you could also try to debug the Intel vaapi issue. It's been a while since I've asked around on various forums for help... maybe it's worth another round of asking around various community forums?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was going to try to hack elrepo's xorg-x11-drv-intel source rpm to build against my supporting packages (i.e. all from upstream/CentOS repos), as well as with the newest intel driver source, and see what happened. That's if I can find the time...</div>
