Adjust refresh rate is working beautifully with my ATI HD4350, Series 6 Samsung and Denon AVR 790.
My HTPC experience with XBMC is complete.
Note: I needed to set all common refresh rates via Catalyst control Center in windows and adjust the overscan to 0 for each (24hz, 50hz and 60hz)
But the xbmc don't auto swith the resfresh rate for the movie in 24p ?

It does for me. I am using DX.

It appears to be after, though I am not too fazed by it, I just like the fact it is working.

Considering that the media is analyzed when importing in the library... why can't XBMC record frame rate as well, so as to switch before starting playback?

I just tried the newest build from Ikons, I think it is fixed as it changes rate then the movie starts. I have never had a 4 to 6 second delay though, about a second in previous builds.
It is possibly related more to your graphics card/ Display device.

Same here. I have noticed this effect since the Alpha's popped up. No big deal for me as I can wait a few seconds for video. However, the out of sync audio is annoying. I can usually fix it by stopping the movie and restarting it.

Thank you for a glorious piece of software.
The "auto adjust refresh rate"-function is working flawlessly since the last beta verision with my ATI HD4200 and everything else works like a charm!

. Apart from a stacking problem I have, but it's off topic here 
.Edit: nope, still starting before refresh switch. I was mistaken before.

WOW, it's finally working!!
This is really great I had almost given up my hopes that this could be done on windows, but I guess the directx port made things easier, or? In any case it's working perfectly now, even for me As you others say though it takes a few seconds to change refresh rate, but common, it always takes time for the TV to change refresh rate. All you have to do it you don't wanna miss anything is to rewind the movie. Maybe not perfect, but damn close
Specs:
Windows Vista, 64-bit (WoW) Service Pack 1 build 6001. Built on Dec 16 2009 (SVN:25755, compiler 1500)
AMD Athlon™ Dual Core Processor 4850e
Desktop Resolution: 1920x1080 32Bit at 24Hz
I use the builtin graphics and sound on my Gigabyte 780g motherboard to output 1080p and 5.1 digital audio over HDMI.

This is working fine for me with 1 annoying exception. My Panasonic Plasma has the 24fps @96hz capability and when playing back a 1080p 24fps movie XBMC switches to 24hz which causes my tv to switch to 96hz and everything works great. Unfortunately my TV cannot support 50hz and whenever playing a movie that plays back at 25fps XBMC tries to switch to 25hz and my TV goes black. Does anyone know how to disable switching for the 25fps videos but still allow for 24hz switching?
