[confirm] Refresh Rate change after standby (1 Viewer)

[mhoogenbosch]

Okay, don't know for sure if this is a bug or not but i wanted to know if we can do something about this.

I'm using MePo 1.6, and have a Sharp 46" 1080p LCD. I have dynamic refresh rate enabled and have set the default to PALHD which is 50hz.

When i'm watching a movie it switches to 24hz and runs fine. If i manually stop the movie it switches back to 50hz.

But! If i'm watching a movie and press the powerbutton so the system goes to sleep, it wakes up with the 24hz setting still active. It referts to the movie details, doesn't resume playback (which i find just fine!) but my wife now want's to watch TV, the system doesn't switch to 50hz when the tv comes online. Obiously this results in bad playback.

If i would start a movie, and stop it, then it reverts to 50hz. And the playback of the TV is smooth again?

Does this make sense?

I've added logs where these events take place.

Sart mepo (50hz)
Start movie (24hz)
standby
resume
watch tv (24hz)

That's weird, because when i push the system into S3, it triggers a stop:

Maybe we need to check stop when audio is removed but not sure

It seems to trigger the STOP (according to logs that is), and it tried the same for @mhoogenbosch but somehow it failed:

No clue if WifiRemote is interfering, but that's throwing some errors:

[2014-01-25 20:29:35,006] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - [WIFI_REMOTE] Could not decrypt config string!

The wifi remote triggers this error message always, and has always done this. I've just reverted back to 1.6 pre release (this is without wifi remote), and will do the same testing. I'll let you know.

Seems to be some timing issue? The standby action is faster then the option to swtich back to 50hz?!

My HTPC runs with an i7-860, not sure if yours is faster? But looking at the log times, this all happens in a split-ms.

Does this always happen, or could this have been a 'hiccup' somehow?

Yours is a lot faster for sure, mine is a i3 370m, 2,4ghz. So that's not the issue.

It happens always, only don't know for how long and which versions. Haven't noticed it since recently.

Do you happen to run a dual-screen setup?

Nope, only a TV i do have an Onkyo receiver if it matters..

Shouldn't matter, got 1 in between also.
Something behaves different on your system for sure. Have you tried using the 'force' option?
