I recently tried to upgrade from Nvidia 295.40 to 304.60 driver on Ubuntu 12.04
295.40 works fine but I would like better Bluray playback with the newer Nvidia Driver.

I need to set XBMC to 50Hz Interlaced mode for Live TV playback. This works fine in Nvidia 295.40

Xrandr seem to report my Interlaced modes incorrectly. EG: 1920x1080@50Hz becomes 1920x1080@25Hz, which when reported to XBMC of course causes all my content to stutter severely when it needs 50Hz playback.

On 304.60 driver, Xorg validates the following modes succesfully:

EG:

Then Xorg sets the screen refresh to 1920x1080@50Hz:

My Pioneer screen reports the mode as 1080i 1920x1080 50Hz


When XBMC starts, I can only choose from Progressive modes at 1920x1080 at 30Hz or 25Hz etc, no Interlaced modes at 60Hz or 50Hz as Xrandr reports the following:

Xrandr reports a 25Hz mode instead of a 50Hz mode that my Display does not even have a nor has Xorg validated it. It divides my 1920x1080@50Hz frequency by two!
Of course this buggers up XBMC playback refresh rates of 50Hz material. Lots of dropped frames and everything out of sync.

Besides switching back to my previous and old Nvidia driver that works perfectly (tested backwards and forwards several times) with Interlaced modes, does anybody know how I can get Xrandr to report the missing/correct Interlaced modes that I want XBMC to use?

Thank You

Thank You

Hey.

Post your xorg.conf, then i'll try to help tormorrow.
Which pioneer panel to you have?

Xbmc does not support interlaced output

Thanks Wsnipex.

Maybe I am misunderstanding then:

I am less worried about the Interlaced bit and more worried about my missing refresh rate.

Under driver 294.50, xbmc sets the display to 50Hz for 50Hz content and 50Hz is displayed as the refresh rate according to my TV.

Under Driver 304.60 xbmc tries to set the display to 50Hz for 50Hz content but xrandr is saying there is no such refresh rate. The highest refresh rate is 30Hz so xbmc sets the display to 30Hz refresh rate, the TV displays 60Hz as the incoming signal but XBMC still thinks its outputting 30Hz.

50Hz and 60Hz are both valid refresh rates for my TV. And the TV gets set to those rates but xrandr/xbmc seems to think that 25Hz and 30Hz are my refresh rates and displays my material according to the 25Hz and 30Hz rates in xbmc.

If I change the driver to 290.50 the correct rates are reported to XBMC and it calculates refresh rates correctly eg: 50Hz or 60Hz and full frame rates are passed through.
If I only change the driver to 304.60, my refresh rates get halved and XBMC drops frames accordingly.

Same installation, just a different Nvidia driver and this can be repeated reliably.

How do I get the same refresh rate calculation results that I get for driver 294.50 as what I get for 304.60 in xbmc/xrandr?

Thank You

according to your Xorg.log, your TV does not support 1080p50 and 1080p60. At least that is what the EDID reports. This might be wrong though and could be overridden in xorg.conf by disabling modevalidation. Be careful though and first make sure the TV indeed does support those modes.

Thank You.

Why the discrepancy between the two drivers?

sorry, I don't know. I don't use nvidia and therefore don't know much about their drivers. There are other more knowledged ppl here that can hopefully help you with this.

Thank you very much for trying to help.
Much appreciated.

Maybe someone can help me with why xrandr with the newer driver reports exactly half the actual rate of the TV refresh rate as opposed to the older driver that reports the correct refresh rates for the TV.
Xorg validates the exact same modes correctly with either of the drivers in both cases.

NVidia drivers > 302 support xrandr 1.2/1.3. AFAIK the interlaced flag for modelines was introduced with 1.2. According to the EDID data driver 304 displays it correctly.

That would make it a strange TV. Never heard of a Full HD set that has only one progressive mode at 1080p, namely 1080p24 Huh

It's a rather old model and not full HD: Model: PDP-507XDA, 1365 x 768 pixel resolution

ok that makes sense. Its only 720p. Like most they accept 1080i input. What makes me wonder though is the 1080p24, must be wrong in the EDID.

So the solution is to just set display resolution to 720p

Hi folks.

Don't mean to highjack the thread, but I have one setup with an older 720p panel like ozra does.

Here's 304.51 xrandr output:

  </output>

In this case here what should I be shooting for with respect to 23.976p bluray sources?

I have found a lot of discussion with respect to 24p to 60i conversion, but that isn't an option as far as XBMC goes if I understand correctly. Should I be shooting for the 1080p59.94 profile?
