Missing deinterlacer

Hello. Is there a plan to add a deinterlacer option for interlaced videos? Other player like mpv and qmplay2 can do this. Thanks.

GStreamer does not currently support auto hot-plugging of HW deinterlacers. Here, assuming you are using Intel/AMD VAAPI decoding, workaround would be:

flatpak run com.github.rafostar.Clapper --video-filter="vadeinterlace"

On non-interlaced videos, element should work in pass-through mode (do nothing). So it should be safe to just always launch with it at no extra cost.

The only thing left that can be done on Clapper side, is whether to expose this setting in UI and make it persistent. Currently its command-line only option.
