I am trying to get xine post processing working. I gave up trying to make it "remember" my settings going through the menus so I am using a command line for testing the settings.
This is what I have so far. I would like to see how others have this setup. (roughly taken from the knoppmythwiki).
Also I couldn't get multi post commands to run together even though it says I can use a ; so I do this:

xine --post tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enable=1,chroma_filter=1 --post unsharp:luma_amount=1.00 --post denoise3d:luma=4

2 Main questions:
1. What settings do others use?
2. What settings are more important than others? (unsharp:luma_amount vs chroma_amount, denoise3d is it really needed, etc, etc).

Thanks again in advance.

I'd make sure and add the use_progressive_frame_flag=1 option: that keeps tvtime from deinterlacing things that don't need to be.

I would also try to use denoise3d if you're using unsharp, otherwise you could be sharpening noise.

I don't change the denoise3d settings at all. I leave luma and chroma settings at default for unsharp, and then adjust amount up to 0.5.

To make xine keep you settings you can always resort to editing the config file... It's actually pretty well documented and quite straightforward.

Just to follow up on this thread and finish it off. I did some more digging into xine and it's config file (~/.xine/config) From my understanding when "De-Interlace" is checked it runs the defaults setup in this config file. If you uncomment something in that file, but it is the default then it just comments it out again. If you add something to it or change something that is non-default it will remain. However, I did not like this so I just use a shell script that I created, made it executable and put it in /usr/bin. I called it xine-post. In the DVD playback I just put in the name of this new file, xine-post.
My xine-post file looks like this:
xine -pfhq --post tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enable=1,chroma_filter=1 --post unsharp --post denoise3d --auto-scan dvd
Because of the bug that xine has (in my version) where De-interlace is set to On when it starts, I made a change to my .lircrc file like this, (So I can turn De-Interlace off from Haupauge remote):
begin
prog = xine
button = Green
config = ToggleInterleave (this is the line I changed)
end

Also I moved around the volume buttons to match mythtv and commented out the Red button: (Yellow = down and Blue = Up) This isn't really needed since I run it through my amp, but I wanted it to match anyway.
begin
prog = xine
button = Blue
config = Volume+
end
