this is a great plugin and something that Ive been looking for ages. I only have a couple of issues with it:

Basically it will detect the video fine and change the refresh rate to 72 Hz (for a film) but the only problem is it changes it once the video has started which causes the display to stay black (the video carries on playing in the background)

A way to solve this would be to have a delay from when the video is inpected to when its passed onto MP to play.

i.e. if I press play on a video it inspects it, changes the refresh rate of the monitor accordingly and then passes the video onto MP to play once the refresh rate has been changed.

Ive also noticed it wont pick up on the TV refresh rate which should be a multiple of 25. So if its possible to add a feature that as soon as you click on TV it changes the refresh rate to the required rate and then starts the TV function, so under the settings for MP interactivity instead of just having when MP starts and shutdowns, add a few extra options for when you open certain plugins like TV etc.

if these are at all possible to implement it will be a great plugin..but unfortunately for now I have to revert to doing it manually via keyboard shortcuts
