+--- Thread: Linux HOW-TO achieve perfect playback at 23.97 or 59.94 Hz with NVIDIA GPU hardware (/showthread.php?tid=70068)
- Rrrr - 2010-11-17
Hat off!! Amazing work and very clear instructions, thank you very much.
I have an issue with video OSD being out of bounds when I set the modes value to "1920x1080_60i_0". This does not happen when I set the mode to "1280x720_60_0" or (even) "1920x1080_50i"
With "1920x1080_60i_0", I get a refresh rate output of 59.94 Hz 59.94 Hz, but the video OSD is only partially visible. I have calibrated the screen.
What should I do to get the OSD back onto the screen? I have spent hours trying all options but am left clueless.
thanks in advance.
PS I have a preference for 1080 (even though the plasma is HD Ready and does the upscaling very nicely: Panasonic TH42PH10) since it all seems to look just a little better. Granted that most of my content seems to be 50fps, 50i does not do it for me, because it makes the XBMC interface look less nice (especially scrolling text for movie info and RSS looks bad).
Below is my xorg.conf.
Within XBMC: "Render method" to Auto, "Adjust display refresh..." to On, "Sync playback to display" to On, A/V sync method to "Audio" and "Vertical blank sync" to Always.
"Sync playback to display" to Off did not help.

Superorb Wrote:I remember reading in the Revo thread that you need to set the video RAM to 512 instead of the factory setting. I couldn't play things correctly until I got a video card with 512mb RAM.
Yeah, you mean in the BIOS right? I did change that when I first setup the Revo.

Quote:I have the acer revo 330 and my solution was to upgrade libvdpau. (I'm using XBMC Live).
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libvdpau1
It did install and I rebooted. Won't be able to try it until I get home this evening.
I don't even know if I am on the right track..

anyone using these instructions with XbmcFreak beta4 Vanilla and can this be done with my amp and tv turned off or do they both need to be on?
I would assume they need to be as to get that EED or EDD resolution thing.

Did you choose "apply to all movies" to turn off sharpness and noise removal by default for all movies?
- User 29008 - 2010-11-20
Did some more digging into my framedrop issue ... seems that I only get the problem if "Force full GPU Scaling" is disabled in nvidia-settings. This seems to be default with the nvidia-driver or is it caused by the nvidia-settings set by the howto in post #1?
Anyone else experiencing this? Do you guys have Force Full GPU Scaling on or off in nvidia-settings?
I can reproduce it here, as soon as I turn it off, frame drops start happening plus vdpau h264 playback gets choppy as well ...

If you have force full gpu scaling turned on, then the refreshrate will be fixed at 60 hertz, so that is probably the reason.
You could turn off adjust refreshrate to match video in XBMC to get the same thing.

You could turn off adjust refreshrate to match video in XBMC to get the same thing.
Hmm, well but I am pretty sure, that xbmc still tells me it switches refresh rates even with gpu scaling on. pressing O shows me 24hz for my 24hz content.
Will check debug log to see if xrandr actually switches refresh rates while gpu scaling is enabled.
Anyway, I still don't get it why I get the frame drops / choppy playback issue without gpu scaling enabled ... any ideas?
EDIT: debug log says:
15:23:42 T:140523293488912 M:1630822400 NOTICE: Display resolution ADJUST : default: 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz (14)
WITH gpu scaling set to enabled.

The facts that the debug log says that doesn't mean it's true.
It's of course possible that nvidia has fixed this recently.

XBMC might say 24p, but does your TV say 24p as well?
I don't even have an option to go into nvidia-settings on my Live machine.

My TV, Panasonic Plasma, only shows 720p,1080p etc. as source signal, not the actual refresh rate ....
