Comment (by Marton Balint):

 You assume that the identified parameters are constant during the whole
 file. This is not guaranteed at all. Aspect ratio change is quite common,
 but it is even possible for the resolution to change mid-stream.

 If you are interested in deep scanning the file, then you should use
 {{{ffprobe -show_frames}}} for that. That should correctly identify
 interlaced/progressive for every frame, and you can check that with your
 scripts and act accordingly.

 If something does not work as expected with Plex/Jellyfin, I suggest
 opening tickets there. Although I kind of assumed that Plex/Jellyfin are
 media servers only, so unless they do some magic transcoding on-demand,
 the player should present the interlaced or non-interlaced content
 properly. So it is also possible that the player itself you use is broken,
 and not the media servers.
