Great feature this, all my videos run as smooth as a babies bum!

Only slight issue I have found is, when I exit MediaPortal back to the windows desktop, the refresh rate is left at whatever was used on the last movie. This isnt too much of a problem as such, just when you have watched a 24p film, and mediaportal leaves the refresh rate at 24Hz, the mouse movement feels sluggish etc... (due to refresh rate).

In short: It would be nice, upon exiting MediaPortal, for the Refresh Rate to be reset back to what it was prior to starting MediaPortal.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I didnt read through all the 108 pages!!

Thanks.

AW: Automatic Refreshrate Changer

you can set this in refreshrate changer. there is an option for that, that it returns to to an default refreshrate. in my case is settet it to 50hz. so plse check the options of this plugin exactly and you will find for what you are looking for.

Good afternoon.
Someone could be solved a question?
I'm trying to configure this plugin to the 24 hz movies to be played at 1080p 24Hz, but that the 50hz movies to play 720p 50hz.
You can perform this operation?

I set it up with a display changer, but when moving from one resolution to another screen becomes a small window.

Yeah, this is a limitation of this feature. MP doesnt handle resolution changes very well. Nothing to be done about it I guess. But 1080p@50hz is the best solution in this case I think.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

The problem is that it 1080p/50hz resolution for HD600x projector is not compatible with that resolution.
Only supports 1080p/24Hz and 720p/50-60HZ , so when play a video to 50hz image disappears.

Thank you.

Not sure if this is the correct place, but I'm having a problem getting dynamic refresh to work. I'm using version 1.1.3 and an nvidia gt520 graphic card feeding an LG 47LE8900 tv via hdmi.

I've tried enabling the feature and using the built in refresh rate changer which has no effect. I have created individual batch files which change to 24, 50 and 60 Hz respectively. If I run them from the desktop they work fine, changing to the correct refresh rate. But they do not work when I enter them into the command entry field in mediaportal, all video plays back at 50Hz from within mediaportal.

If I enable the window popup notification of change, it correctly comes up with Cinema 24p but still plays back at 50Hz.

I'm still running XP SP3.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey, I found one frame rate that I think should be added by default and that is NTSC 59.94 Hz. My ESPN HD recordings is this frame rate and I keep forgetting manually configuring Refresh Rate Changer after MP reinstall and wondering about the stuttering :D
