I've searched for hours on here, checked the Wiki, and have yet to find an answer to my problem.

When watching videos in windowed mode, I have no problem, but when toggling to full screen mode, I get no video feed to my TV at all with certain videos. The audio plays fine, but I get a black screen. Is there a setting to tweak that can help fix this? What is odd is that I will be playing a TV show season of something (in this case "Pillars of the Earth"), and some episodes play fine in full screen, while others do not.

I've tweaked various video settings, but have been unsuccessful so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for anyone who has some insight.

The videos have different frame rates. I wonder if your TV is refusing to display the 25Hz video. Try going into System settings, Video, Playback and disable the "Adjust refresh rate to match video" setting.

You are my hero. That worked.

Question: What is the benefit of that setting? i.e., what am I giving up by disabling that setting?

Thanks again.
