I recently tried out Eden and came across the following issue:
1. Windows is started and running at 60Hz
2. I start XMBC and play a movie in fullscreen. The refresh rate is changed to 23.976Hz. So far so good.
3. I press Win+D to switch to the Desktop (XMBC goes into the background). The Refresh Rate changes back to the original 60Hz.
4. I return to the XBMC playback. The refresh rate stays at 60Hz and is not set back to 23.976Hz as it should.
This is 100% reproducible. It is not a question of the driver or anything else. For example the refresh rate changer of MediaPortal works fine as it doesn't switch the refresh rate back to something else when going out of focus.
If XMBC changes the refresh rate back to 60 when going out of focus it has to reset it back to 23.976Hz (or whatever the rate of the movie was) when coming back into focus (talking fullscreen playback here of course).
I haven't tried other combinations of changing focus or returning to GUI overlays in regards to the refresh rate. It is possible that there are additional combinations that show the same or a similar effect. But as said the described steps above behave the same on two completely different systems.
Any suggestions how to solve this? Can I configure the behavior of the refresh rate changer somewhere? Or did I stumble across a simple bug here?
