Unfortunately, "does not work" is not something I can 
help you with, sorry.
(In no language)

Note that FFplay is more a testing application and less 
a video player (like vlc or MPlayer). There are probably 
a dozen reasons why yadif=1 does not work with Zeranoe 
builds but I strongly suspect most developers couldn't 
care less. Especially since an external library we 
cannot control is the most likely reason (your refresh 
rate comes second).
If you want to deinterlace and transcode, use 
ffmpeg -i input -vf yadif=1 ...
If you need a deinterlacer when watching videos, don't 
use FFplay. (YMMV)

PS: Maybe -vf yadif=1,fps=50 really helps, and this may 
really be a bug (or a regression).
