Hi Guys, I'm playing with trying to force XBMC to use set refresh rates.
I want 25 FPS content play at 25 hz, not at 50 hz.
I've done the reading,
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Use...3Cvideo.3E, but it doesn't seem to work.
I've create the the following file:
Code:
C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\advancedsettings.xml
With this code:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<adjustrefreshrate>
<override>
<fps>25.000</fps>
<refresh>25.0</refresh>
</override>
</adjustrefreshrate>
</video>
</advancedsettings>
Any thoughts as to why it still plays 25fps at 50hz?
Post a xbmc.log ... it shows all supported resolutions/refreshrates supported by your display. Mabye 25Hz is not reported as supported?
The log is too long for the forum. These bits that look important to me.

1920x1080@25hz seems to be supported.
Your xbmc version does not support refreshrate overrides, it's too old.
bobo1on1 Wrote:Your xbmc version does not support refreshrate overrides, it's too old.
I'm running the current stable version; 10.1. So it has to be something else.
Have I formatted advancedsettings.xml correctly?
The current stable version is old.
scudlee Wrote:The current stable version is old.
Right... Annoying.
Are you sure 10.1 doesn't support the override?
The Wiki doesn't say anything about these settings not being supported. The only date mentioned is May 2006, 10.1 is much much much newer then that.
Update to a nightly build. That's all.

I wouldn't call it clear; but I did find it after a closer look.
I'm a heavy XBMC users and hesitate to run the beta versions.
then wait for Eden release.

No.. Like all people on the internet; I want my free update and I want it NOOOOOooooooowwwwww.
