We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that we have turned our efforts to a newer version. Could
you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  MythTV incorrectly detects interlaced stream on progressive content

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix
Status in mythtv package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv

  When playing videos using MythVideo on my local hard drive, the
  situation frequently occurs that mythtv will set the video scan to
  "Interlaced" and lock it there, causing frame stuttering and
  flickering.  This is in a progressive stream.

  I've managed to narrow down what's happening, and it seems whenever
  the stream switches from 24000/1001 to 30000/1001 frames, myth thinks
  the stream is interlaced.  Problem is, when the frame rate goes back,
  myth never sets the video scan back to progressive, so I end up with
  deinterlacing applied to a progressive stream.

  I made a quick patch to the source code that for me fixes the problem:

  --- libs/libmythtv/NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp-orig	2010-04-17 12:38:32.799073334 -0700
  +++ libs/libmythtv/NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp	2010-04-17 12:38:43.867081365 -0700

               {
                   VERBOSE(VB_PLAYBACK, LOC + "Locking scan to Interlaced.");
                   SetScanType(kScan_Interlaced);
  -                return;
               }
           }
           m_scan_tracker++;

  However, this change was implemented in revision 22121 of mythtv in
  response to this mailing list post:

  http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2009-October/066439.html

  So, I don't imagine this is a good fix.  Better would be to fix
  mythtv's handling of frame rate changes.

  For reference, this is on the latest beta release of Mythbuntu 10.04.
