True, but until some minutes ago xbmc detected wrong frame rates for some videos as well.

Tried installing 22814dx, definitely did not solve my problem with resolutions detection. Still just 1080p60 being detected.
Going back to 21930 I seem to have lost the capability of autoswitching refresh rate. I could swear it worked before.

I would like to bring this old thread to attention once more. I have the same problems as mentioned in the first post still with latest Pre-release Camelot Alpha2.
Have not been able to test this before now as the automatic refresh change feature was broken for a while.
24Hz is sometimes used for 23.976fps movies (instead of the proper 23.976Hz)
59.94Hz is used for 23.976fps movies (HD DVD pulldown flag in stream read as 29.97fps)
Many 23.976fps movies with MPEG-2 stream and some MPEG-4 streams will play with really bad stuttering (like 15fps frame rate)
Read the fist page of the thread to see more detalied descriptions of all problems...

Windows doesn't provide use with a means to get fractional refreshrates. We guess that the driver rounds down.. Ie that 23 is 23.97 and 59 is 59.94 and so on..
If the driver doesn't, we are lost..
But in either case, we need debug logs of the issue. Preferable separate logs for the separate issues.

The above is _exactly_ what we guess, yup.
So when the video file asks for 29.97, we request a refresh of 29, assuming that it will actually give us 29.97. Are you suggesting that it's actually giving something else?
Cheers,
