Cool, so all we need now is someone to make a build and share it.

I made a few test with svn 18062.
Generally it works really great. My playback is COMPLETELY smooth. With the main brach i have frequent stuttering after a certain time. Pausing and restarting solves the problem than it starts again after a time. But with this branch it plays really smooth.
Here are the results:
1. If the default refresh rate is set to 24hz and i watch a 24fps movie, fps stays around 24 movie plays really smooth.
2. If the default refresh rate is set to 50hz and watch a 25fps movie fps stays around 50fps, movie plays really smooth.
The bellow settings were tested with auto adjust refresh rate on:
3. If the default refresh rate is set to 50hz and watch a 24fps movie fps counter stays around 24fps, and the movie and sound are playing really slow (around 12fps)
4. If the default refresh rate is set to 24hz and watch an 25fps movie fps counter stays around 50fps, and the movie and sound are playing really fast (around 50fps)
So all fine until i the auto refresh rate changer really changes the refresh rate to any direction. This way the refresh rate detection is not working properly.
Anyway it is a rellay cool feature. Thanks for this Bobo1ono1 !!
One question:
Why is the audio/video delay counter always show a little minus (-0.2, -0.4) It is set like that on purpose ?

Hi Pollisoft, Hando !
I am using xbmc on Ubuntu Hardy. There i only set the sync option in XBMC and i set the tripplebuffer in the xorg.conf file.
Playback of 24 fps files IS working just when you use auto refresh rate from a 50hz defult than it has the slow playback, but if the default is originally 24ht than it run really smooth.

So what, if anything, does all this mean for those of us with TVs that can't do 24Hz? I think mine only does 60, but I'd have to check to be sure. I'm building a system this weekend to run XBMC to play Blu-Ray rips. Can smooth playback be achieved without a 24Hz TV?
