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. -- Video scaling in totem is unclean https://launchpad.net/bugs/71476 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
