VLC settings for Chromecast (render)

[Texans]

I use vlc render for chromecast. Is there someone that have good configuration (deinterlacing,video codificator,filters,...) to avoid annoying horizontal lines especially with fast images (example football match)? With "static" images basic configuration are very good...Problems start with fast images.

Are those interlaced videos?

[Texans]

They are football free live matches...I want to transfer live match from pc to my TV (bedroom).

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Look in the Codec dialog (Ctrl+I) if those are interlaced.

[Texans]

They are 1080p or 720p (not 1080i/720i). I not found other indication...

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Are you sure?

Problem happens on the TV after I transfer images via ethernet (chromecast vlc render). When I watch the game on the PC directly from vlc the problem does not occur...Perhaps a problem originating from the transfer via LAN (fast image and ball (appear/disappear) when it is kicked), however images are fluid.

Live sport is often interlaced. So that is weird.

Can you try increasing the Conversion quality for chromecast in the parameters ?

Otherwise do you have logs? those glitch might somehow appear in them:

To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

I correct what i said to Jean-Baptiste Kempf... videos are in 1920x1080i25 so i don't know if problem can be solved. However in both cases below, ball appears and disappears with glitches.

On my PC i see well...no glitches...

i use windows10 and vlc-3.0.6-win64 (default settings)

This is my massage with

Yes, the Chromecast does not know how to render interlaced streams. You need to re-encode for this.

Can you open a bug on our side?

[Texans]

Now I try to open a report in VLC bug tracker.

[Texans]

I tried vlc 3.0.7-nightly and seems that now Chromecast knows how to render interlaced streams. I hope that it's not an impression...

Viewing more games the problem has not been solved yet

On a related note, is there a way to use QuickSync for hardware accelerated encoding since VLC has to recode the video to stream it to Chromecast.
Example, I have a H.265 video which I'm streaming to Chromecast. So VLC is converting it to H.264 (I assume) and I have QuickSync. I understand that VLC uses FFMPEG to recode the video and ffmpeg supports QuickSync (h264_qsv). Is there a way to tell VLC to use the hardware QSV encoder?
