Hi all,

I'am trying to use xbmc with my new samsung le40b650. What I've got so far is flawless playback of 1080p/1080i HD movies with the proper framerate switching. So for a 24.97fps movie it wil switch to [email protected].

Now here is the problem. If I playback a 720p movie in 24.97, xbmc switches to [email protected]. I got modelines for 1280x720@50 and 1280x720@60 but not for 24.97 should I add one for this mode if it exists?

The same applies for SD content. If I playback a DVD xmbc switches to 1920x1080@50. So xbmc does the scaling. I got a modeline for 720x576@50.

So now is the question, is it possible that xbmc switches to 1280x720 or 720x576 if I playback a file in those resolutions? That way the TV can do all the scaling.

does really XBMC support autoresolution ?

Hmmm that's was the question indeed. I assumed it was possible but looks like I'm wrong. I would be a very nice feature though, because the scaler on my TV or on my receiver is probably better then a software one.

If it's not possible I've got to look for other methods to play the content in the right resolutions.

Usually a sw scaler is much better of majority embedded tv scalers. Expecially if u enable hq scaler.
