[Q] 1080i deinterlacing?

Has anyone found a way to deinterlace video in XBMC on the FireTV? I realize that streaming content isn't interlaced and therefore the box really was never intended to play back 1080i content however one of the purposes of my FireTV boxes is to serve as a front end for MythTV which means that Live TV and much of my recorded content (unless I transcode) is interlaced.
I'm don't need any of the real fancy deinterlacing algorithms, something as simple as Bob would be enough. It really doesn't look that bad from my viewing distance but in fast motion scenes it is noticeable. I'm certain the FireTV can handle it, it's just a matter of finding the software to make it happen.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Should probably note that my boxes are rooted.

I am having the same issue. I have an HDHomerun Plus feeding my Win7 box. I have tried XBMC 13.2, Kodi 14, and SPMC 13.4 on my FireTV. I have toggled hardware acceleration, MediaCodec, de-interlacing, etc. Any 1080i broadcast with fast horizontal movement (like football) is awful. I have tried both NextPVR (feeding the NextPVR Client) and Windows Media Center (feeding the WMC Client) on the Fire TV. Same result, which is expected since both are providing the same MPEG-2 1080i content.
My existing setup is an HDHomerun Plus WMC feeding a Ceton Echo box, which deinterlaces 1080i great. I'm trying to migrate off of that so I can have a single device (FireTV) that handles TV, online streaming, local streaming, etc.
I haven't tried this yet, but the HDHomerun Plus can transcode in hardware to x264. I've had it disabled because the Ceton Echo doesn't like x264 much. I'll try it with the FTV and see how it goes...
My FTV is rooted as well, running the latest pre-rooted firmware.

Any update on having the HDHR Plus do the transcoding? Considering picking one up if it let's me use the FireTVs as nice Live TV extenders.

Does anyone know if the new aftv2 can handle 1080i content such as live TV from hdhomerun tuners?

ive been messing with it lately.. PQ has not been great yet.. ive used both the hdhomerun add-on and server-wmc pvr method via kodi... would rather get 1080i working great from the pvr.. hard to beleive that its 2015 and we cant get de-interlacing right in xbmc/kodi... the old mce 2005 worked better on old ass hardware.. very frustrating
i came on here hoping to find an answer... im thinking maybe i can root and install my own mpeg2 decoder for kodi? who knows
edit: looks like the BOB-inverted works best for me... very usable.. KODI FTW

Any tips or help you can offer on getting this setup right?
I had a 1st Gen Fire TV that worked fine with SPMC 14.x for some interlaced recordings I've made with my Hauppauge HDPVR2, and/or DVD's converted to MKV using VideoRedo..
I've updated to a 2nd Gen Fire TV with Kodi 15.2 (since SPMC stops at 15.0) and none of the interlaced videos I have tried play correctly.
EDIT: Never mind.. this seems to be 2nd gen Fire TV related, as it does it in Kodi and Plex.

Android TV VUDU app on Fire TV to watch UltraViolet movies...

A while back, if I recall correctly, at one time the Flixster app allowed us to watch movies in our UltraViolet collection, albeit in a lower resolution, but later the app was changed and didn't play movies back...
While I don't have many Ultraviolet movies, I have a few, so I was disappointed not having a way to play them back on my Fire TVs.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but I can confirm that sideloading the "Vudu Movies & TV (Android TV) 4.1.15.40985" app from apkmirror DOES work on my Fire TV 2nd Gens to access and play my Ultraviolet movie collection. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/vudu/v...du-movies-tv-android-tv-4-1-15-40985-release/
The playback shows HDX (on the screen). The box in my living room (connected to 10+ year old Pioneer Elite VSX-21 receiver... HDMI audio is split to optical via a box from Monoprice) gives me DD5.1 per the Pioneer. For the box in my bedroom, which is connected via HDMI directly to my Sony XBR-43X800D, when I hit the INFO button on the TV's remote, the TV says Dolby Digital Plus. (I don't have a DD+ capable receiver)
The app itself shows under "my apps" or when you hold the home button down and get to your apps. I haven't seen it pop up to the "recent" section yet.
Unfortunately this seems to only work on my 2nd Gen Fire TV Boxes, not my first gen boxes....
My 1st gen with OS 5.2.4.1, the app installs, shows under the "manage applications" list, but not on the normal menus, or the apps list when you hold the home button on the remote. You can launch it from "manage applications" It runs, I can sign in, and start a movie. Unfortunately it says "SD" but I never see video, and only hear audio.
My other 1st gen box didn't get 5.2.4.1 OS update yet. The Vudu app doesn't show under "manage applications" nor does it show on the menus. I have Appstarter installed on that box. IT does show the Vudu app. Just like the 1st gen box with 5.2.4.1, it seems to indicate only "SD" video, and attempts to play result in audio only, no video.
So it looks like this doesn't work on my 1st gen boxes, only my 2nd gen boxes.

Well, one of my 1st gen sticks is on 5.0.5 with the Android TV play store installed. From there, I installed the Vudu Movies & TV app. This showed up alongside the rest of the apps in the different menus, FireStarter (except for recents). Only have one movie on there so far, but I think that purchase was in "SD" anyway. Seems to play back as expected. Guess I would assume this to work on the 1st gen box the same way, unless something odd is going on with the newer Fire OS versions or root access?
EDIT: Seems to work fine after all.

This is an awesome development. Has anyone tried this with a second gen Fire Stick? First gen apparently doesn't work.

Thanks for this!
Confirmed working on a 2nd gen fire TV, with no issues that I can see.

I tried installing this on my new Fire TV (non-Stick) and I keep getting an error when trying to install. Can anyone provide assistance on getting this up and running? I find it odd there isn't an official Vudu app for Fire TV.

New update for Vudu?
In was able to run the side loaded app on my Fire tv box for a few months perfectly. Now, the app tells me I'm using an old version and to update. But if I try to update in the app it states it is trying to open a link to an external market that is not available on the device and if want to go to the app store instead, which fails.
Is there a new version that works I can side load? The newest versions on apkmirror all fail installation.
Thank you!

September 2017 Fix for Vudu on Fire TV
Hey all,
After getting the message that I was running an old version of Vudu, needing to reinstall it, I uninstalled my Vudu app, went back into ES File Explorer and couldn't open Dropbox for some reason. Weird. Searched for a new version of Vudu on my phone and found it at apkmirror. Look for this file version of Vudu. 4.1.21.51938
I uploaded it using One drive because it didn't give me an error like Dropbox did on the Fire TV ES File Explorer. Download and installed the file from the One drive section of ES File Explorer under the Network--Cloud tab. Vudu is super fast now. Love it. Trust me, it works.
Good luck!

Thanks for the update! After a bit of dorking around, installing a new transfer and install app, I finally got the new version on and working.
Thanks!

Vudu not sideloading 2nd gen FireTV
I tried all the apk listed above and they are not working. I am getting an error on install. I can use app2fire to install app from my android, but its unusable, every is squished. i have attached the error

You dont need VUDU app if you use the MOVIES ANYWHERE app that can link to your VUDU account and play all the movies. The only catch is that you can not download your movies to your FIRE TV with MOVIES ANYWHERE, as it can play the stream only.

Movies anywhere won't play all your movies. At least not yet. A couple of pretty big studios, MGM, Lionsgate, don't support it, so their movies don't show up in the app. And likewise, no TV show support in the movies anywhere system either. There is no Vudu substitute period. But the Android TV app does work, near flawlessly on the second and third gen fire TV devices. You just have to make sure you have the newest version installed at all times. For some reason Vudu kills access to their service for older versions of the app.

Just some follow up since I've been away from this thread for a while...
1. I've seen a few posts mentioning to just use MoviesAnywhere (MA). Keep in mind, this thread was started BEFORE MoviesAnywhere, back when it was still DISNEY Movies Anywhere which only supported Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars movies, and linking your Disney library to iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, or Google Play.
2. With the advent of MA, while it connects to UltraViolet (UV) compatible services like Vudu, MA only supports 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Disney and Warner Bros. It does not support Paramount, MGM, Lionsgate and possibly others. MA it does NOT support UV directly.
3. The only UV movies that will show in MA are those that are marked as both UV and MA compatible... For example, visit Vudu and look at the listings for Terminator: Genisys or Transformers: Age of Extinction.. they are marked UV, but not MA. Movies like this do NOT show in MA, nor across the linked services like Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, etc. for playback, and therefore a UV compatible app/service like Vudu or FandangoNOW must be used to play them. As a result, I have quite a few UV movies that I could not play without Vudu or FandangoNow apps on my Fire TV. Compare that to the Vudu listing of Ready Player One, where you'll see both the UV and MA markings. Movies marked like this ARE available across services. They can be watched in any service linked to MA such as Vudu, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, FandangoNow, etc.
4. The Android TV Vudu app works to watch any UV or MA movie in your linked libraries, even the UV only titles that are not available via MA.
5. Since the initial post, Vudu still doesn't show under Recent Apps on my FireTV's menu... But it continues to show under Apps & Channels, and you can move its icon anywhere. I moved it to my 2nd app, so its the main Fire TV home screen.
As mentioned in the OP, I have two different 2nd Gen Fire TV boxes. Here are the versions of the Vudu app I've been using on them.
On my 2nd Gen Fire TV Box connected to 1080p TV... this newer version of Vudu works fine for SD/HDX (UHD is not an option due to the TV) and also provides 5.1 audio per my Pioneer Elite VSX-21 receiver (see OP)
air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet_4.1.45.96620-1236620_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/vudu/...android-tv-4-1-45-96620-android-apk-download/
On my 2nd Gen Fire TV Box connected to UHD TV... this version works and also plays UHD/4K movies... (as mentioned in the OP, this box is only connected to the TV, and its info display says Dolby Digital Plus)
air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet_4.1.23.60526-1200526_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/vudu/...android-tv-4-1-23-60526-android-apk-download/
NOTE: when I tried 4.1.45.96620-1236620 on my 2nd Gen Fire TV connected to UHD TV, it failed to play UHD movies. They looked like they were starting to play, but they immediately exited back to the previous menu. So I rolled back to 4.1.23.60526-1200526 which still works for SD/HDX/UHD movies. I have not tried any other more recent versions, and likely wont until 4.1.23.60526-1200526 stops working.
I have not done any further testing on my Gen 1 Fire TV boxes.

I don't know if you ever got this fixed... but I'm using ADB from my PC to push the APK to my Fire TV's. I haven't tried pushing from my Android Phone.

Another update... So I got a FireTV Cube recently... and loaded up air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet_4.2.52.110309-1250309_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

VUDU app reports 4K UHD HDR10 and ATMOS on most/all of my 4K movies I stream. My Pioneer VSX LX103 receiver reports the video signal input is 4K(3840x2160)59hz YCbCr420 30bit while the movies are playing. The cube is set for Auto up to 4K, Frame Rate matching on, Color Depth up to 12bit, and Color format as YCbCr

Tried the latest version that I have installed on my phone 5.5 something and it was pretty hard trying to get logged in. Ended up loading the above version on my fire tv cube and it worked right away.

Update on the new 4K Fire TV stick w/HDR and DV support...
With the new 4K Fire TV stick connected to my (new) Sony XBR65X900F TV (the TV supports 4K, HDR and DV), Vudu can be sideloaded and work, but it also seems I need to be using a wired ethernet adapter or I get errors when trying to start playing a movie.
I'm using 4.1.23.60526.... It DOES do DV/ATMOS/UHD when the 4K Stick is connected to my Sony XRB65X900F in the family room. If I then move the stick (with that same Vudu installed) to my Sony XBR43X800D in the bedroom which supports 4K and HDR, but NOT DV, the Vudu app shows 4K/HDR/ATMOS for movies.
The stick is set for resolution Auto up to 4K, Frame Rate matching on, Color Depth up to 12bit, Color format as YCbCr, and Dynamic Range as Adaptive.

TCL 50EP680 5.1 sound problems on Home Theater receiver

Hello everybody,
I'm new on XDA forum, I explain you my problem.
My home theater receiver works fine (5.1 sounds) when :
- I look TV channels
- I use the TCL multimedia centrer (dlna), but this player crashes frequently it's unusefull
But when using android apps, I get a 2.0 sound on my receiver.
Has somebody tried Android apps like Plex, Kodi, Youtube, DS Station, .... and could hear 5.1 sounds on a his home theater receiver ?
Different ROM versions tested :
- RT51_Android P_V252 Software => NOT OK
- RT51_Android P_V270 Software => ?
- RT51_Android P_V288 Software => NOT OK
Thanks,

I have got an 65ep660 , and exactly the same problem,
Only the tcl mediacenter app and netflix are ok about 5.1 passthrough output spdif.
I tried all the firmwares, all kodi 's versions, no one solution...
Shame on you Tcl, it s the same problem with all ep680, ep640 series
The only Way is a Xiaomi mi box on hdmi input......

Have anyone tested the V270 Brazilian version (root version) ?

Change the transmitter

Also have this problem. 288. IPTV crashes the player. After some investigation it looks like TCL doesn’t use Exoplayer but one of their own.
Tried every possible IPTV app, all of them makes it crash the tv or when it works only have sounds or image stutters

Thank's. The TCL application is named "com.tcl..ui_MediaCenter".

I've been trying to solve the same problem. So annoying...
The best progress I did was installing Nova Player. It has a mode for passthrough that correctly send DD and DTS to my receiver if I set the TV (50ep640) to PCM on the audio output setting. Mode 1 is the one that works.
I don't know if Kodi or Mx player could support the same.
On Nova Video Player, two audio passthrough modes are supported:
Mode 1 (almost deprecated) targets TV boxes with early versions of Android (up to Kitkat 4.4). Note that on some devices you need to set the sound volume to maximum (so that the streams are not altered by the sound mixer). This mode does a software SPDIF encapsulation with ffmpeg .
Mode 2 targets latest versions of Android above 5.1 (Nvidia Shield TV and Android TVs) using official Android framework support.

Thank's. I've tried Nova Player with its 2 modes but it doesn't work at home.
Mode 1 => Video OK, sound looks like a machine gun
Mode 2 => Video freezes, no sound
I've tried these 2 options with the audio TV setting on PCM, auto, Passthrough.

Equalizer for Fire TV

I have Poweramp Equalizer install on my device. Managed to give it the extra permissions for advanced player tracking. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pick up some streaming apps like Disney+.
Is there a way to get all apps to play nice or is this a dead end? If not, any other app that I can get to work correctly?
It seems like Amazon’s apps know not to overcook the low end but for some reason all 3rd party apps have what sounds like artificially boosted lows. Was streaming a replay of F1 FP2 on Disney+ and realized abnormal amounts of low end.
Setup:
2nd Gen Fire TV Cube
2 Echo Studios
1 Echo Sub
p.s They are in a “Home Theatre” group.

Hey man!
How did you manage to download Poweramp Equalizer on your fire tv stick?
I have the 4k version and it won't download since the app supports android 9+ and the fire stick is android 7.

Fire TV Cube 3rd gen Dolby Atmos passthough com0pletely broken using Maven's Kodi-Builds

Basically subjects says it all.
I just bought a Cube 3rd ed. but using Maven builds with my C9 TV and passthough enabled I experience continue desync and crashes. Basically unusable (I sadly went back to my 4k Max).
Everything works perfect on my 4k and 4k Max.
Am I doing anything wrong (completely newbie with HD audio)?
Thanks.
Pino.

I remember seeing that you have to switch FireOS sound settings from best available to DD+, to get DD+ and DD to work in Kodi. It's definitely inconvenient.

I tried all the available options but audio stull stutters and crashes.
As it is now any DA content is unwatchable.
Very disappointing.
Thanks God I still have my 4K Max but it bothers me I spent all that money to have a paperweight.
Well I guess I'll wait.

Just an FYI if you are using the FireTV build: not specific to the 3rd gen. Cube, but Maven has the "FireTV" build & the "Android 32-bit" build, and from my reading of the Kodinerds forum it seemed like it was best to use the Android build with FireTV devices starting back sometime last year, that the Android builds had all the fixes and the FireTV build was basically the same as Kodi nightly builds.
Are you good with using ADB? Can you report the printed output for these 2 ADB shell commands:
settings get global encoded_surround_output
settings get global encoded_surround_output_enabled_formats
I don't have the 3rd gen. Cube, only have the 2nd gen., but if the main Settings stay the same, then:
encoded_surround_output=0 , if using BEST_AVAILABLE sound setting option
encoded_surround_output=1 , if using PCM sound setting option
encoded_surround_output=2, if using DOLBY_DIGITAL_PLUS sound setting option
And I can take a guess that the second command "encoded_surround_output_enabled_formats" will return <null>. So input this:
settings put global encoded_surround_output_enabled_formats "5,6,7,8,13,14,17,18,19"
This ENCODED_SURROUND setting is what lets Kodi query what Android's java coding can passthrough for audio, the different numbers being the most common SurroundSound audio codecs; for example "18" & "19" are for DolbyAtmos lossy & lossless, and "14" is for TrueHD.

The "FireTV" build is exactly the one I'm using on all my devices right now. The kodinerds Maven thread grew too big and is mostly in german to read all the updates so I didnt know that.
As soon as I return home I'll test the Android build and report.
Thanks again for this precious advice.

Kodi Settings on EXPERT mode? With Passthrough on in Kodi you should be able to turn on all the options for passthrough ON, DolbyDigital_PLUS and Dolby_TrueHD being the two that need to be on for DolbyATMOS lossy and lossless formats to be available for passthrough. If TrueHD is still not showing maybe have to toggle between the two Passthrough-Output-Device options AudioTrack(IEC) or AudioTrack(RAW).
Sidenote, my primary TV has a buggy ARC/CEC implementation and sometimes I have to flip CEC on-and-off to allow Atmos passthrough, which even though my Cube is connected directly to my AVR it will stop some apps from streaming Atmos.

Yeah, I'm officially an idiot. I restored a backup from my 4k Max but it usually doesnt restore expert mode and I totally forgot to do that on my own. BTW I tested using expert mode and enabling the same exact options I have on my working 4k Max but still stutters and crashes, also switchng IEC mode.
Not sure about the CEC options. Point is I've never had any issues on the same TV with the same exacts settings on my 4K and 4k Max so I guess it's a Cube issue (or again some nonsense I'm still doing).
Thanks again for advices
