[QUOTE="AberDino, post: 299468, member: 11575"] Great work, I've been waiting for this feature for a long time. In my opinion, it is essential to be able to switch to the correct refresh rate in order to get the best picture quality. Quite often I demonstrate this to people by playing the start of 'The Day After Tomorrow', where chunks of ice make their way from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen at fairly high speed. Judder is all to clear if you're not using the correct refresh rate. No doubt the best way is to detect and switch refresh rate before the media starts playing. In the past, I've tried the refresh rate control plug-in + reclock and reclock + vbs script, with an without powerstrip and/or the ATI CCC. None of these worked without problems, essentially because they switched refresh rate after media playback had started, causing all sorts of issues. Last night I installed the latest SVN, and after that configured and installed the refresh rate changer files (overwrote the SVN's Core.dll and MediaPortal.exe files with the files included in the refresh rate changer package, don't know if that was needed). I tried a few mkv and avi files, and it is working great, thank you! :thx: I have one question though for gibman, in your first post you say:I use this plugin too, but what do you use to manually switch refresh rates?
