What do you mean for every ap? I'm been having a hell of a time this weekend . I threw out ubuntu again and tried windows, but I can only play 24p material without jitter.

- dpassent - 2008-12-15

there is setting in ATI CCC regarding vsync. it has 4 states
1. off totally
2. off but on if app wants it
3. on but off if app doesn't want it
4. always on

I put slider in the "always on" position, and I disabled vsync in XBMC. Now XBMC switches my refreshrate according to fps of the video and I have no jitter or tearing whatsoever. I still have to check subtitles (displaying subs was broken some builds ago) - but other than that - I hit my honeypot Smile

WinXP SP3, latest ATI Drivers (8.12 I believe...)

Hey! That's exactly what I've done! And I can still not play PAL-material without tearing. Which build of XBMC are you running? On pal material, xbmc switches to 50 hz on telly (which is correct) but it jitters like parkinson. 24p-material is no problem. It even plays well in 60hz since enabling vsync in the drivers and disabling it in xbmc. Too bad subtitles doesn't work while auto-switching.

16501 as it's the last one that has ac3/dts passthru working for me...
I run XBMC at 50Hz so with PAL it's noswitch. 24fps switches to 24Hz and NTSC switches to 60Hz like it should.

Hm. Maybe I'll try setting the desktop top 50hz then, and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the tip!

the one cant have everything... subtitles are not working... Sad

- LolitaRainking - 2008-12-15

Dunno what happened, but all of the sudden I can playback pal-material. Maybe it's some kind of mind trick, but I think setting the desktop to 50hz worked!? That's... interesting.

Same for me, Finally Big Grin

I sorted out ac3 passthru and I am running latest SVN. I run desktop in 24Hz now. Its switching to 50Hz (PAL) and 60Hz(NTSC) without problems. I set it up this way because I need subtitles only in 24fps material. And we all know there is a bug. So I am all sorted out now Smile

has a ticket been issue'd for the broken subtitles yet?

Yes, I believe that a ticket for subtitles getting broken when using auto refresh is created.

But there is no ticked for subtitles in .rar being broken.

If you need subtitles as badly as me, the following works.
Get the latest Areascout branch build (16499) here:
MegaUpload
RapidShare
In this verison, .ass and .ssa subtitles work together with "Adjust refresh rate".
You have to convert your subtitles to .ass/.ssa, personally I prefer AegiSub. There, it is easy to chose subtitle styles etc nad re-save them as .ass.

Cool thanks!
