Ok so as a follow up to: CoreELEC 19 Matrix Discussion (Kodi RC)
…I am definitely seeing some, though not all, 25hz content being played back at 60, rather than at 25/50, as it should be (and as Kodi 18 did/does, with the same files). This obviously results in visibly jerky playback.
Debug log here:
(if you search for OnAVStarted the relevant stuff is around there…)
The disp_cap that I am using contains:
480i60hz
576i50hz
480p60hz
576p50hz
720p60hz
1080i60hz
1080p60hz
720p50hz
1080i50hz
1080p30hz
1080p50hz
1080p25hz
1080p24hz
2160p30hz
2160p25hz
2160p24hz
smpte24hz
smpte25hz
smpte30hz
smpte50hz
smpte60hz
2160p50hz
2160p60hz*
I am not using a whitelist (as can be seen in the log).
If I add the following to advanced_settings.xml:
<adjustrefreshrate>
<override>
<fpsmin>24.50</fpsmin>
<fpsmax>26.00</fpsmax>
<refreshmin>49.0</refreshmin>
<refreshmax>51.0</refreshmax>
</override>
</adjustrefreshrate>
Debug log of that here:
…then playback works correctly - i.e. is nice and smooth - and the refresh is correctly set to 50. But I have never needed to do that before, and have always had 24/50/60 stuff all working as expected automatically.
I suspect this is more of a Kodi issue (there were a lot of changes to the whitelist / refresh switching stuff going past in github towards the end of the betas/rcs).
But I would be very grateful if any knowledgeable CE folks could have a look and share an opinion.
