I think it should be possible to find matching values for the 23.976 hz output modes. A little bit of experimenting in kernel should make that work. If this frame automation hack is still the one, where I added the 23.976 clocks some months / yearhs ago and memphiz commited it, I am quite sure we could find something else.
Also: Currently AMLogic decoder directly talks with the kernel ... that's not how it should be. Consider enumerating the 23.976 mode as a normal fractional mode like the 24.0 mode is done - that would be much, much better for userspace. Cause it's somehow funny that the hw decoder will change the refreshrate under the hood while kodi thinks it would run with 24.0 fps.
