Suppose the video is 24fps and the display is 59.94Hz, will "sync playback to display" convert the video to 23.976fps (yielding steady 3-2 cadence)?
(I'm asking because it doesn't seem to be working...but I'll investigate further if it's supposed to work).

sync playback to display, aka smooth video, adjusts the speed of a video if refresh rate of display and video fps (considering multiples) do not differ by more than 5%.
In your case it wonˋt change the speed. nevertheless, on the reference platform, Linux X11, playback should result on a 2:3 cadence in average.
please elaborate on „not working“ and post your system spec

By "not work" I mean doesn't adjust the speed to match the display (divided by 2.5).
You say "(considering multiples)", so it should work, right?
The system is Android TV (Sony). It's possible that the symptom (jerky playback) has nothing to do with display syncing...I'm just asking questions, not pointing a finger.

If you play 23.976 material on a 59.94 display there is no need to adjust the speed. By using a 3:2 cadence there is an exact fit. If you play 23.976 on a 50 hz display, speed is adjusted by 4%.
