I've never really understood the different Video Scaling Methods that you can choose when you play a movie. What's the differense between this and the 'High Quality Software Upscaling' options under Settings -> Videos ->
Player?
High Quality Software Upscaling, Upscaling Method: [Bicubic], [Lanczos], [Sinc]
Video Scaling Method: [Nearest Neighbour], [Bilinear], [Bicubic]
There's also something unstable about the Video Scaling Method. If I try to select Bicubic I get a white video playing. And if I try to click 'Set as default for all movies' and restart the movie I will get no video, only audio in the back. When I push 'X' to stop the audio playing then xbmc crashes (hangs..) and I will need to kill it. I'm currently using Beta 2, but I've seen this for a long time.. atleast since Alpha 4. Oh.. If i start xbmc again and play the same video, then it appears the the 'Video Scaling Method' was not saved also. (However the cpu usage suggests otherwise.)
One more thing.. Why isn't the 'Interlace handling' option a general option under Settings -> Videos -> Player? I also don't understand why the 'Video Scaling Method' isn't there as well. You can even call me a complete idiot cos I don't know why I can select 'High Quality Software Upscaling, Upscaling Method: [Bicubic]' And still select 'Video Scaling Method: [Nearest Neighbour]' when the video is playing at the same time. However [Lanczos] can't be selected when you play a movie?? What's all this!!!
Still,
Keep up the good work guys!
