You can Spoof 23.97,24,25,29.97,30,50,59.94,60 Hz refresh rates on AMLogic devices to fool Kodi if you want but its pointless.
With a proper modified Linux Kernel, all AMLogic devices can output the fractional refresh rates by manipulating the HDMI clocks when displaying 23.976fps (24/1.001) content, when say Kodi autoswitches a TV into its 24p movie mode.
AMLogic call this HDMI clock manipulation - Frame Rate Automation.
The AML devices that I know of that do nicely synced 23.976 / 29.97 / 59.94fps video output using this method are the WeTek Core and the ODROID C1+ and MINIX S8xx gear.
You end up with the same nicely synced video output as you would on a RPi2.
Trust your eyes and use them. If you see a video frame glitch approx. every 40 seconds or so when Outputting 23.976fps video at 24Hz then the AMLogic gear you are using has an Inferior non modified Linux Kernel.
