Deinterlacing not working in Kodi 17/18

[Blinky]

Deinterlacing of videos don't seem to work in Kodi 17 or 18.

It seems to be a problem with Mediacodec.
If you turn it off deinterlacing works but then it uses 100% CPU resources and is then too choppy to play.

The problem doesn't exist on other socs like RK3288 from the same chip manufacturer.

Here is a sample video to try, the video is not deinterlaced.
With the stock video player and MXPlayer the video plays correctly.

Is there a way to solve it?

Should be able to resolved. We have focus on 1080p and 4K testing, and doesn't realize the interlace clip issue.
