Avoiding interlacing - force progressive over HDMI?

Apr 02, 2017 1 Replies

On my Pi2B videos have noticeable interlacing/deinterlacing artefacts which I would naturally like to get rid of.



It turns out that the Pi is sending 1080i which I guess might be the problem if the video files carry progressive video.



The TV's HDMI input allows 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, 480p and 480i. I presume the Pi (Raspbian) has chosen the best /resolution/. But is there a way to force it to choose the best /progressive/ resolution?



I gather I should be able to force 720p50 in /boot/config.txt with hdmi_mode = 19 or something similar. But that's not ideal when swapping to other TVs. So getting it to choose the best progressive resolution would be better.



Any ideas?
