Hi,
I'm new to XBMC.

At the moment I have 2 problems with the video output:
1) In Windows Dektop I have 23.976Hz@1080p output active, but when XBMC starts, it switches to 60Hz output. Can it be changed so that XBMC menu uses 23.976Hz? Reason: switching video resolution lasts approx. 5s in my system with no video.

2) When I start a movie with 23.976Hz XBMC switches to 24.000Hz, why?
Switching the framerate is active, DXVA is in use.

My system:
Win7 64Bit Ultimate, 4GB RAM, core i5, AMD HD5450 with 11.3 drivers, 10.1 or nightly build at the moment, everything over HDMI to my receiver and video scaler and JVC DILA beamer.

Thanks,
Erich

You can leave your desktop at 60Hz (easier to use). The XBMC interface will work at 60Hz, then the refresh rate will autoswitch when you watch videos.

Regarding the switch to 24 I'm not entirely sure. I seem to remember there were override instructions you could use in advancedsettings.xml but you'll have to wait for somebody more in the know.

Thanks,

the problem is that 95% of my movies are BR rips with 23.976Hz.
So everytime I start a movie I have this boring 5s delay until I can see a video.

I have tried to generate the advancedsettings.xml file with contend, but it changed nothing in the behavier.
