Hey, folks -- I'm having an odd issue with Framerate matching using Gotham 13.2 on an Asus Chromebox (via OpenELEC 4.2.1) I can't really upgrade to KODI because the skin I rely on isn't yet available.

What happens is that it works perfectly well until I shut my TV and AVR down (I don't power down the Chromebox -- I just leave it up and running so I can access it and do backups and whatnot.)

When using it the next time, Framerate matching doesn't work -- the TV always stays at 60p regardless of source material -- until I reboot the chromebox.

When looking at the logs, XBMC *thinks* it's matching framerates:

...but according to "xrandr" and the TV, the frame rate doesn't change:

Code:

When I reboot the box and play the same video, the XBMC log is identical, but xrandr and the tv both show 24p output:

Code:

OpenELEC:~ # xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767

   720x400       70.08
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

The above indicates it's not apparently an HDMI RESYNC problem with the AVR comes back on, because xrandr shows all the correct available modes & rates.

When it's shut down, it looks like this:

Code:

OpenELEC:~ # xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
HDMI1 disconnected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  1920x1080 (0x48) 148.500MHz
        h: width  1920 start 2008 end 2052 total 2200 skew    0 clock  67.50KHz
        v: height 1080 start 1084 end 1089 total 1125           clock  60.00Hz

I've tried manually switching resolution from the command line while video is playing, such as

xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 23.98

...and that does work (indicating that the HDMI connection and xrandr agree) -- but XBMC doesn't switch back to 60p when I STOP the movie -- it stays at 24p forever -- until I reboot.

I've also done a force resync with xrandr turning HDMI1 OFF and then back ON after a few seconds -- no change.

I have the Frame Rate matching mode set to START/STOP

Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong?
