Does Kodi now do a pitch correct to counteract the 4% speed-up you get ? (Broadcast conversions usually do - as 24->25p speed up is the standard way US TV shows and movies are shown in 50Hz TV regions)
Presumably this also means you lose bitstreamed/passthrough DD/DTS/Dolby True HD and DTS HD MA too?
It used to be a good fix in the days of CRT TVs and early non-24p-friendly LCDs - as a way of avoiding the dreaded 3:2 pulldown (that many of us who have grown up in 50Hz territories find unwatchable) - but it is a real kludge...
Though I wholeheartedly agree that setting your default refresh rate to 50Hz makes a lot of sense if most of your viewing is 50Hz content (Live/Recorded TV, Catch Up TV and DVD rips in a 50Hz region)
