[Pending] Late dynamic refreshrate changer or fps detection without mediainfo (1 Viewer)

[Sebastiii]

Hi,

I have create a branch based on current master + this patch (https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/EXP-FPS-Detection-Without-Mediainfo_Update), but we need to avoid thread from it, so talking with @gibman and we need to use 'ManualResetEvent' but i don't really know how to do that lol maybe @offbyone can have an idea to how manage it

Thanks

Edit : update branch to current 1.3.0Final as base

I would say threading and how to manage them correctly is really hard, more so for inexperienced devs.
you can even read big books on this subject matter alone.

so I think it's a very good idea to have someone experienced to look at it.

but if you start looking at manualreset events (MRE) etc. then there lots of examples in our codebase.
google probably has a few articles also

just remember MRE implements IDisposable, so you have to take this into account also.

not quite related, but will MP get it's own audio renderer that can speed up audio/video so you can play 23.96fps movies at 24 or 25fps and play 24 fps movies at 25fps ?

That should be already possible with MediaPortal Audio Renderer? -> https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-audio-renderer.107316/
+ fixed for MP 1.3.0 BETA -> https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/collection-of-audio-renderer-fixes-for-1-3-0-beta.109738/

Refresh rate and FPS mismatch

Like Reclock, MediaPortal Audio renderer is able to speed up / down the playback speed of the media to make the media fps to match the dispay refresh rate or it's whole number multiplier.
