Issue with 3DTV and nvidia drivers 260.63 beta when playing 24hz movies (1 Viewer)

[ibizalover]

Hi everyone,

I have a new issue since I update my HTPC with the latest beta drivers from Nvidia. I'm using these drivers as it allows me to watch 3D Bluray on my brand new Panasonic 3D TV... So no way to go back to the previous ones ;-)

When I watch a movie set to 24hz, instead of simply switch to the 1080p 24hz mode as it used to do before, my TV is now switching to the 1080p 24hz 3D mode. In this mode, I'm loosing brightness and can't access the THX mode of the TV and I can't explain why but the quality is so bad...

Is there anyway to set up the refresh rate to 24hz HD instead of 24hz HD 3D (the new names from Nvidia) in the mediaportal configuration tool?

However, when I use Cyberlink PowerDVD for instance to watch a movie it's switching to the standard 24hz mode, not the 3D one, so the issue seems to come from my Meidaportal config....

Thanks in advance.

first of all.. MediaPortal does not support 3d blu rays ..and probably never will.. however there are ways around it to at least get blu rays working if you have the correct hardware and codecs ..or use an external app


look under "dynamic refresh rate changer" in "general" of the mp config app and enable all the options (maybe u dont need the refresh notification if your tv tells you already) ..but theres no 24p 3d option ....i think all the 3d options are set elsewhere..perhaps in the nvidia control app

Hey guys - I have the exact same problem. Only happens when I've got Dynamic Refresh Rate Changer turned on and I've setup 3d in the nvidia control centre.

(this issue occurs when trying to watch regular 2D content.)
