"Adjust display refresh rate" not working - Gracus - 2016-06-04
Hi!
I was using KodiSetup-20160401-0436322 until today and all was working well
Then today I change to the last nightly KodiSetup-20160603-0a4f29e and start to have this issue: when I play a movie, my g-sync screen does not change his refresh rate to match the video
It stays on 144Hz instead on syncing down to 24Hz
If I return on the Kodi version I use before, it works again...
I already check that my kodi settings were right
I try with fully new install of both kodi version
Here is my hardware setup:
Windows 10 Pro 64bits
Intel core i7 5930k
Nvidia GTX980Ti
32GB ram
Acer Predator Z35 (21:9 144Hz G-sync)
Here is my Debug Log:

Thanks for your help

Nobody?

This feature was reimplemented in a different way and is not available on Windows yet.

I was wrong. It is implemented for Windows.

@FernetMenta seems render manager selects strange resolution for [email protected] movie
Code:

Your screen doesn't support 24Hz if I'm correct, it does support 60Hz though. So even before with the older Kodi version it changed it too 60Hz, not 24Hz.
So when you start Kodi, its on 2560x1080 32Bit at 144Hz like it says in your log. Then when you start a movie it should switch to 23.98 cause that's the refresh rate of the movie (I guess you have the setting Adjust display refresh rate to match video enabled).
Question for the devs: since his screen doesn't support 23.98Hz or 24Hz, so what is Kodi suposed to do in this case? Switch to the refresh rate that is closest to that value?

Maybe that is the point: Kodi should do nothing
G-sync already do all the work: if fps go under 30fps (minimum fps for G-sync screen), the module automaticaly multiply the number of frames (by 2,3 or even 4 if needed for really low fps situation like 15fps)

RE: "Adjust display refresh rate" not working - zawaponga - 2016-06-08
I think you are mixing something up here. G-sync is probably an awesome technology and I don't know too much about it, but what I know is that it's for gaming only.
So you have the right hardware like a Nvidia GPU, which supports G-sync and you have an awesome and probably not so cheap monitor that has the Gsync technology.
But for showing a movie why would you need G-sync?
I hope you also play some games on your rig, otherwise it would be total overkillxD.
RE: "Adjust display refresh rate" not working - Gracus - 2016-06-08
Yes I play a lot on this rig
But G-sync works not only for games but also for video player (at least it works with DVD and Blu-Ray when using PowerDVD and it was working on previous Krypton nightly build with all my mkv files)

RE: "Adjust display refresh rate" not working - Gracus - 2016-06-12
I made more tests with different fps video files...
If I play 30fps files, my screen is set to 144
If I play 25fps files there is 2 differents results: sometime it set my screen to 144 and sometime it set my screen to 100 with droped frames according to Kodi
If I'm on the menu, my screen goes down to 1

Cant you switch off G-Sync for Kodi on the monitor I know this is defeatist as it seems like a sweet tech but just a thought

What will be the point to switch off G-Sync as the screen will just stay on 144 no matter what file I play?
RE: "Adjust display refresh rate" not working - Derek - 2016-06-12
ah I see sorry I miss understood the tech
