Alright guys let see if anyone can help me out here and figure out what is going on. I have 2 sd card right now one has retropie with kodi 16 installed on it and the 2nd one is openelec beta running kodi 16.1rc both seem to have the same issue. This is wants going on so far both of them have fresh installs with kodi video output being set for 1280x720. With it set right now like this 1080 videos will play just fine but if if i change adjust refresh rate to always the 1080 video files will not play anymore but SD videos will play. I so far have figure out if i change the video output to 1920x1080 the videos will play fine again like there is no problem. This wasn't a problem previous on any of kodi 15 builds and only start for me on 16 and 16.1rc. So how come I cant seem to play 1080 videos with adjust refresh rate to always if kodi video output is set for 1280x720.

Your monitor reports support for 1600x1200@60 but doesn't support it.
I'd suggest either disabling "adjust display refresh rate to match video" or using an EDID editor to create a custom EDID without that mode,
and then place the file (named edid.dat) on boot partition and add "hdmi_edid_file=1" to config.txt.

Quick question what program should i use to edit this edid.dat file i was trying Phoenix EDID Designer but i dont see how can can just change the resolutions in the file, also reading that paged you linked to i was just wonder is there been more worked on what fritsch was talking about on the last commit about trying to set up one of those three options or settings. He mentioned need a debug log and maybe mine could work also I do realize that post was back in Sep 2015

Alright so I successfully changed my edid.dat and removed the 1600 resolution and changed my config file. Just booted kodi again checked that the video output and it is not showing up anymore so I tested a video and it looks like its running just fine now.
If there is anything I can do to help test to fix this issue let me know so others don't have to go through this mess.
Thanks for the help.
