Settings for Mythtv-frontend for Shield TV

[jfabernathy]

I have not found a v31 list of recommended settings for Video on Mythtv-Frontend for Android 64 bit that runs on the Shield TV so I thought I'd list what works for me in an effort to help others.

My usage is for OTA recordings in MPEG2 ATSC USA in 1080i or 720p formats. I also have mp4 recorded videos.

I set a profile with 2 entries. The first is as follows:

Video Formats: mpeg2video
Decoder: Standard
Max CPUs: 4
Deblocking Filter: checked
Video Renderer: OpenGL YV12
Deinterlacer quality (single rate): Medium quality
Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers: checked
Prefer driver deinterlacers: unchecked
Deinterlacer quality (double rate): Medium quality
Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers: checked
Prefer driver deinterlacers: unchecked

Second entry:
Decoder: Android MediaCodec Acceleration
Max CPUs: 4
Deblocking Filter: checked
Video Renderer: OpenGL Hardware
Deinterlacer quality (single rate): medium quality
Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers: checked
Prefer driver deinterlacers: checked
Deinterlacer quality (double rate): medium quality
Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers: checked
Prefer driver deinterlacers: checked

Thanks for the settings. Both of your entrys work well in my shield tv. Have left it at mpeg2video as we weren't seeing closed captioning when set to android mediacodec acceleration.
