Re: XBMC able to play DVRMS

Have they fixed the major limitation in XBMC that meant it didn't cope with interlaced MPEG2 replay properly? I've stopped using XBMC since summer of last year, but last time I used it, the limitation of mplayer meant that it de-interlaced 50i and 60i interlaced MPEG2 to 25 or 30fps rather than 50 or 60fps. This was fine for films - sourced from 25 fps originals, but for anything shot on video at 50i - like sport, news or entertainment, half the movement information was effectively chucked away, giving everything a film-like flicker, and no fluid motion.

Pity - as in almost every other respect XBMC was pretty good.
