    I want to propose an extra setting in the Dynamic refresh rate, and I'd appreciate it if you give a little bit of feedback here.

    Setup:
    Monitor supports 24, 50 and 60Hz, unfortunately no 48Hz.
    refreshratefor 24fps is 24Hz, for 25 it's 50Hz and for 30 it's 60Hz.

    Refresh rate changing is a bit slow on my system (couple of seconds) which gets rather annoying when watching short clips.
    So I'd rather have "Use default refresh rate" unchecked, that way if I watch a second video with the same refreshrate it is already correct and no need to switch.

    However, some videos are 24Hz, and when that is the last one I played, mediaportal responds quite sluggish (because the rendering is done at 24fps).
    So my suggestion is to switch back to default only after playing a 24Hz

    Feels like quite a narrow use-case, so that's why I wanted to discuss this first

    Hum something fine can to set something on duration video, if video lenght is less than 10min, wait 5 second before refreshrate.
    Sure, with checkbox available for this in refreshrate section.

    Ps : i have an other idea for this (refreshrate), more an bugfix.
    After resume, MP restore to the default refreshrate.
    I have lot of times issue, i watched movie at 24hz, and send MP to sleep, on awake mp is still at 24hz, indeed of 50hz as defined in setting.

    hm, not really agree with refreshrate setting based on video length.

    And did you get back to mediaportal after watching movie and before sleep? Or did you put the pc into sleep during the closing credits?

    it's not part of playlist ?
    i search for user who use MyVidéo to play this too, for me (if i remember fine, we can have same problem on MyPictures when play short video camera, TV always switch DRR), for me short vidéo must not use DRR (for MyPictures for example !)
    hey, Sebastiii do something for MadrVR, when Madvr is in use, don't use the internal DRR
