#13061 closed Developer Task (fixed)

Enhance the Video playback profile selection process

Reported by: Peter Bennett Owned by: Peter Bennett
Priority: minor Milestone: 29.0
Component: MythTV - Video Decoding Version: Master Head
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

Video playback profiles allow decoders, renderers, etc to be selected based on resolution of the video.

I have a situation where I need to select a different decoder based on the codec. See https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/users/609271#609271 . My system can decode MPEG2 in software but not h264, which needs VDPAU decoding.

Ticket #12992 has a situation where selecting a different decoder based on h265 and interlacing may help.

Other cases may arise from time to time, likely when some or other bug exists in hardware decoding for particular situations.

I propose adding more criteria for selecting a playback profile. These would include video codec and interlace, and any others that are appropriate.

Video Playback: Extend playback profiles to allow preferences based on more criteria

Video playback allows selection of different settings based on video
size. This change extends it to also allow selection based on video format
and frame rate. These are optional and if left blank the existing rules
continue to apply.

Fixes #13061
