Running a chrome box connected to an HP monitor which supports 25hz, 29.97hz, 30hz, 50hz, 59.94hz, 60hz. Naturally I have "adjust display refresh rate" turned on.
How come when I play 25fps videos, Kodi selects 50hz, not 25hz?
Same thing for when I play 29.97 fps videos, Kodi selects 59.94hz, not 29.97hz?
I made the changes myself manually and played the videos, and it works fine, however if I have "sync playback to display" on, the video becomes jittery, with it off, it's smooth. (This is just for the 25fps and 29.97 fps videos)
So basically, should I...
Let kodi choose the refresh rates by itself, let 25 fps play at 50, and 29.97 fps play at 59.94, 23.976 fps plays at 59.94 also
And if I do that, should I sync playback to display or no? (This was a question I've been wondering about for a while anyway) (If I'm playing a 23.976 video at 50hz, then obviously sync playback has to be turned on, but if it's 25 into 25 or 25 into 50 (2x) or 23.976 into 59.94 (2.5x), then it seems to me like it wouldn't need to be turned on, but I'm not sure)
OR should I...
Edit the advanced settings so that 25 fps plays at 25hz and 29.97 fps plays at 29.97hz. 23.976 would still play at 59.94. And have sync playback turned off cause I would have to because of what I mentioned above.
