in other versions of Kodi, including Android builds, you have various methods as to how you can de-interlace a live TV siginal or DVD. These methods differ depending on what device you have and its processing method.
While making comparisons between Kodi on various platforms, and a bit of reading up on the subject, I’ve decided its not issue after all and is the only method offered by the amcodec.
many thanks for your quick response.
