I made some further tests. But this time with real movies.
1st test with Kodi default settings (changed nothing since my last tests)
P7FEL-23.976-AC3.mkv
P7MEL-23.976-AC3.mkv
P7MEL-59.940-TrueHD.mkv
P7FEL-23.976.mkv / P7MEL-23.976.mkv alternately
P7FEL-23.976.mkv / P7MEL-23.976.mkv alternately with adjust display refresh rate on start / stop active, with 3.5secs refresh rate delay and with whitelist active
P7FEL-23.976.mkv / P7MEL-23.976.mkv alternately with adjust display refresh rate on start / stop active, with 3.5secs refresh rate delay, with whitelist active and audio passthrough configured
Hm... what happend? This are not the results I expected.
2nd test with Kodi default settings
P7FEL-23.976-AC3.mkv
P7MEL-23.976-AC3.mkv
P7MEL-59.940-TrueHD.mkv
P7FEL-23.976.mkv / P7MEL-23.976.mkv alternately
P7FEL-23.976.mkv / P7MEL-23.976.mkv alternately with adjust display refresh rate on start / stop active, with 3.5secs refresh rate delay, with audio passthrough configured and whitelist not configured
Conclusion
It’s still some kind of sporadic and there is seemingly no difference between the test files and real movies. Sadly, I can’t find a reproducability.
