Automatic Refreshrate Changer - Page 8

updated initial post with;

v0.2 (rev #20234)
* fixed a problem with MP minimizing itself when calling external batch file (cmd etc.)
* hopefully fixed dual display device problems (clonemode users are unaffected).

This is most excellent news! I did not have any luck with the old refresh rate plugin and ended up making my own process plugins to call AnyDVD's refresh rate changer.

By the way, anyone know how to create a 720p 24 og 48hz profile in Ati CCC for my 3450 card? I can set a custom 24hz with my old nvidia 8400gs card but no such luck with Ati.

I assume this is compiled against SVN20227?

I'm on SVN20227, auto refresh changer 0.2 is broken for me, 0.1 worked like a charm on the SVN20078 I haven't tried 0.1 on SVN20227. Mediaportal.log shows:

Works perfect! A feature I long waited for - now my htpc rocks even more (and that was hard to achieve!!).

Thanks a lot, gibman!

Aurora13 · 2008-09-20, 22:48

Thank you Gibman!

I waited a long time for this feature! Now mine HTPC is almost perfect!

Working perfect here with Vista and nVidia 8500GT.
BTW I use the RefreshRate changer which is supplied with ******* AnyDVD which works perfect with your piece of code.

Thank you again!

This doesn't seem to work properly for me. When I select a video etc. the screen flashes but the video never starts unless i keep pressing ok and then eventually it plays, but even then it doesn't seem to switch the refresh rate. Do I need to be running a specific svn to use this?
