Recording/viewing sports

[Clegg]

Hi all, just a quick question about the decrypted ts file format (in relation to viewing recorded sports). When watching the recorded file in VLC, the frame rate is noticably lower than what it was when viewing live (codec information in VLC shows 25 FPS). Are recordings downsampled to 25 FPS or do I need to adjust a setting?

Are recordings downsampled

No.

Thanks. I'm a bit confused on how media players deal with ts files. I see the file is playing fine in Media Player Classic, but not in VLC (deinterlacing is on). Plays perfectly on the HDR itself and via Jellyfin on Google TV.

but VLC is not

VLC is a hugely bloated beast. In my experience, it can play anything you throw at it... but the price is a large processor load and potentially dropped frames.

deinterlacing is on

I'm not sure how relevant that is. The TS file contains the broadcast data as-is. If it requires de-interlacing, the player will de-interlace it. If not, it won't.
