I just installed the Jarvis Alpha 1. I noticed the automatic refresh rate adjustment is working better now and I was wondering what exactly was changed?
In all previous XBMC/Kodi versions, refresh rate adjustments always resulted in an annoying flash of black screen, even when choosing not to pause with the change. However, in Jarvis it's snappier - the picture does stall momentarily but the screen doesn't flash visibly in black.
This has been a huge problem for me with variable frame rate videos and I'm glad it's apparently become a bit less distracting. Nothing would beat an "Adjust refresh rate only at the start of playback" option, though...
