id like a "no preference" option or "last video" option in settings>system>display>general>refresh rate
or perhaps a "on start only" option in settings>player>video>playback>adjust display refresh rate
so, heres the situation:
autoplay next video: off
sync playback to display: on
adjust refresh rate is set to on start/stop
i do not care what refresh rate the kodi menu is running at, however when i watch a video, id like it to run at the same rate as the FPS
these settings work, but theyre flawed. whenever im watching some TV shows, a few videos in a row may be 24fps/hz and the next few might be 60. but either way, EVERY TIME the video ends, my tv has to blank and switch to the hz set for the settings in system>display>general. for me this makes playing the next video at least a 40 second operation, 15-20 seconds for the display rate to change, and the kodi screen to come back, 5 seconds waiting for the video to start, 15-20 seconds again waiting for refresh rate adjust.
i realize there is an addon called nextup service that will give me a chance to NOT watch the next episode if i dont want to that will avoid the display rate change between videos, however that only scrapes 10 seconds off of my current wait time and there is no option to change the wait time between episodes for that addon that ive found.
TL;DR my tv changes refresh rates extremely slow, looking for a way to ONLY change refresh rate SYSTEM WIDE if the video currently loading has a different frame rate than the previously played video; otherwise leave it be for Kodi AND the next video
