Well I finally made the switch from frodo + original pseudotv plugin to helix + ptvl, and it's been great to see such active development and progress from the original plugin that served me well for a couple years.
But I'd like to know if any progress has been made regarding refresh rates, I saw there was a post last May (quoted below), and actually I'm pretty sure this was working better in a previous version (0.5.8d maybe?). I'm not sure if it was an update or changing options somewhere as I'm still configuring everything, but I could have sworn it was working such that if you were watching 24p content in ptvl and brought up the guide, it would not change to 60p as it does for me now, it would only change refresh rate when choosing content with a different refresh rate than what was currently playing.
Does anyone have any tips to keep refresh rates changing to a minimum, but still enabled?
Running 14.1 and the latest ptvl from the repo on windows 7, can provide logs but I'm not sure anything was listed there when I looked.

When using PseudoTV Live with the VideoWindow patch, opening the EPG changes the display to 60 Hz and selecting a show changes it back to 24. Slightly annoying because there is a few seconds delay between the refresh changes.
When using PsuedoTV Live without the VideoWindow patch, the EPG is displayed properly over the content playing at 24p, however it doesn't work consistently and often times changing channels results in the content playing at 60Hz instead of 24p (ignoring my Adjust display refresh rate to match video XBMC settings).
I would be happy to provide any logs necessary if you have time to look into this further. Thanks!
This isn't something I can fix. It's an issue with XBMC. Wither or not VideoWindow can or can't play in 24p, I don't know. But having your refresh changing by content isn't ideal for Pseudotv. Try changing the change refresh from play/stop to always... otherwise there is no fix.
