1.12.0 Dynamic Refresh Rate Changer not working (1 Viewer)

[spenca]

MediaPortal Version: 1.12.0

Description
Hi all,

since Version 1.12 the dynamic refresh rate changer is simple not working any more. Please see "steps to reproduce" for further Information. I've tried some 23.9 Hz movies, every the same.

Thanks for your help!!

Mario

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to "Moving Pictures", select a movie with different refresh rate than the actual Desktop refresh rate (my case a 23.9 Hz movie); start it, you will see that no refresh rate Change is done.

I see what could be a double entry in your mediaportal.xml

<entry name="refreshrate010_name">CINEMA2</entry>
<entry name="CINEMA2_fps">23.975</entry>
<entry name="CINEMA2_hz">23</entry>
<entry name="refreshrate010_ext">
</entry>

AND

<entry name="refreshrate01_name">CINEMA</entry>
<entry name="CINEMA_fps">23.976</entry>
<entry name="CINEMA_hz">23</entry>
<entry name="refreshrate01_ext">
</entry>

Is this something you added yourself? I dont have that (23.975) in the xml.
If so, you can try removing that one, as it might in theory confuse MP.
Also, you could try enabling the Force Refreshrate option.

Did you try the 23.9 hz option from within windows? Does it work?

[edit]
Could you also try this without Auto3D plugin enabled?

Hi,

2nd option is from myself, delete is no difference.

23Hz mode within desktop is working.

Forcing refresh rate is not working, think its a detection problem.

Will try to disable auti3d and report back.

Hi,

did all the desired changes above, also disabled auto3d plugin, no change. See logs please.
Thx,

Can you manually set Debug in MP configuration, (Watchdog has an issue with 1.12 and it will be already corrected in next MP version). ?
And try again to get fresh log.
Thanks

But in info log, we get something interesting :

Mediainfo can detect the fps from the video. So refresh can't act lol.

You can install mediainfo standalone app and see if it give you the same result.

To resolve it, you need to recode your movie into the mkv or maybe remux your current mkv and set the correct FPS while muxing

But it should happen only on this video or all your muxed mkv are broken because your muxed tools is buggy somehow

Hi, youre right. Seems that some files are corrupted.

Thx for help!

Ok, Seems 'solved' then.
I tagged the thread as [no bug].
If the results after remuxing are still faulty, please continue here. I (or anyone else) will change the prefix accordingly.
