Hello Community,
I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of months now so I decided to reach out for help on the Kodi forum.
My issue:
I would like to play my movies which are 99% of the time a source of 23.976 fps as close to the original "image" as possible.
However whatever I'm trying I get subtle but clearly noticeable and annoying stutter in the video playback.
I just can't get my head around this so all help is appreciated.
Basic information:
- Kodi 15.2 Git:20151019-02e7013 (Compiled: Oct 19 2015)
(have tried with Jarvis Beta 5 as well before the RC's came out -> no changes worse/better. I consider installing Jarvis when the official release comes out)
- Windows 10 Pro Version 1511 OS Build 10586.71
(had a Windows update yesterday -> no changes worse/better)
- Intel Core i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30Ghz
- 8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable)
- 256 GB SSD (950 PRO)
- 64-bit operating system
- Intel Display Audio (driver version version 8.20.0.659 date 10/5/2015)
- Display HD Graphics 520 (driver version 20.19.15.4331 date 11/20/2015)
Components included in the setup:
Intel NUC Kit NUC6i3SYH
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/n...i3syh.html
(downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Intel website)
Bose LifeStyle T20 A/V Receiver
Software version 02.10.01
Database version 5.3.24.2
(console has the latest software version and database, no update is needed)
Samsung UE46ES8000
Software version T-ECPDEUC-2020.0, BT- S/G
(there are no software updates for the moment)
HDGear High Speed v1.4 HDMI are used
http://be-nl.forum.ibood.com/products/32...riplepack/
HTPC ---(HDMI)----Bose T20 A/V Receiver ----(HDMI)---- Samsung LCD TV
Kodi configuration screenshots
Note: the configuration in the screenshots matches the debug file.
Additional info:
- To eliminate any network delay I copied the video file onto the local SSD of the HTPC
- I have tried different video files
- I assured all HDMI cables are secured properly
- I rebooted all devices several times
- all devices are up to date
- The best result so far I had when configuring the video driver to output 60p Hz and set the TV to 60Hz and don't use "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" or "Sync playback to display". Although this has not been consisten either. Sometimes I have the impression the order of actions matter and some devices need a reboot.
- I have had times when the issue seemed to have gone away and I thought I found the issue but then came back f.e. next day when I fire up the TV and receiver again (HTPC stays on 24/7)
- I searched the forum, used Google many times and tried a zillion things without any luck. also I followed the troubleshoot steps in the sticky post a couple of times too ...
- In the last few months while testing/trying I have seen the Bose T20 crashing, Kodi crashing or not playing any audio at all, ... Not sure if this was related to my issue though
- At times I also see artifacts on the screen even in Windows
Kodi logs

I have no idea to read these logs but one thing I noticed was the following:
12:33:35 T:3028 NOTICE: fps: 23.976024, pwidth: 1920, pheight: 804, dwidth: 1920, dheight: 804
12:33:35 T:3028 NOTICE: Display resolution ADJUST : 1920x1080@ 23.98 - Full Screen (204) (weight: 0.000)
Seems like the display is adjusted to 23.98 and not 23.976...

Questions:
- How should I configure my TV. Does it even matter? I can select 50Hz or 60Hz in the menu
- Does the settings of the Intel driver matter? I have a wide range of settings possible from "23p Hz" to "60p Hz" (I didn't try the interlaced settings) I tried a combination of everything really.
- What would be the settings I need to use, considering above setup and my requirements (playing 23.976 fps videos)
- Does anyone have an idea what is the issue here and how to solve it ...
