Just in case you are not on Freaktab...
Finally I had the time to do some more work on my M8S Pro+ with Magendanz's great 20170815 ATV ROM.
After rooting it and fixing the file permission for frequency rate switching,
I tried both Kodi 17.4 (from the Play Store) with the Kodi.AmLogic.script.frequency.switcher addon
and the latest FTMC Jarvis 16.2.31, enabling the "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" setting for both.
With Kodi 17.4 the correct frequency rate is set by the addon, yet video is not smooth at all at 24HZ,
as it seems Kodi is not aware of the new display frequency (it sticks to the detected 50HZ rate set in ATV -
I will give look at Kodi sources someday)
With FTMC the correct frequency rate is automatically set and the video is butter smooth whatever the frame rate is...
but almost perfect, since fast forwarding and chapter skipping somehow confuse FTMC and there be can some black screen
until the GUI is back (only once it hang completely).
I gave also a quick look at SPMC but it also seems not perfect...
I know that Kodi will be almost perfect with LibreELEC, and I will try that, too.
