No, it won't.  tvtime will only do pulldown detection unless the frame
has VO_INTERLACED_FLAG set, which it only has if the container or stream
indicates it's interlaced.  From what I can see in the source, there is
no way to override this.

Again, no.  kaa.metadata isn't as smart -- it doesn't look at the
stream, only the container.  mminfo dvd:// on a DVD that has interlaced
content and you'll see what I mean.  We could put the effort into making
kaa.metadata more intelligent, but the reality is that it will never be
as comprehensive as a full player.  We have the opportunity to leverage
the intelligence by the player's demuxer here and we should do that.

The general approach would be easy, and I can already think of a fair
heuristic to detect combing artifacts.  The question really is how
effective would this be in practice.

But yes anyway, I have more important fish to fry in the short term.
