[Bug 71476] Re: Video scaling in totem is unclean

[Sebastian Dröge]

Ok, playbin is adding videoscale, not totem. And playbin just uses the
default mode of videoscale, i.e. nearest neighbour.

So if anywhere it should be changed there. The only problem I see is
that bilinear scaling is much more CPU intensive compared to nearest
neighbour... and it could make the difference between a smoothly played
movie on a slow machine and many frames beeing dropped...

Sebastien, what do you think? The changes required are rather trivial...


And for now if someone wants to use ximagesink with a better scaling
algorithm one could set the video output sink in gstreamer-properties to
"videoscale method=1 ! ximagesink" for example.
