What do you think "adjust refresh rate" is there for, under video/player. :rolleyes2:

I'm wondering though (with adjust refresh rate on) why my tv never goes into 1080p24 mode, like it does when I playback a blu-ray disc on my PS3. I think this would be desirable when playing back 1080p 24Hz material.
Does this work for anyone (granted your tv supports 1080p24)?

Yes - works great. XBMC GUI rez is 1080p 60hz and as soon as I play 24hz material XBMC switches to 24hz and my Sony Bravia shows 1080p/24

Settings/Videos/Player/Adjust refresh rate is what you are looking for. And it works already.

if you have enabled it, and it doesn't work, perhaps gather a debug log?

One more thought on this. Even if your TV supports this, Windows (if you are running Windows) must be configured to support this resolution. In XBMC/Settings/Appearance/Screen, can you see the resolution in the list there?
If not, "Adjust refresh rate" will not be able to switch to this resolution.
If you have an Nvidia graphics card, you can enter custom resolutions in the Nvidia settings. I do not know how ATI card work.

If you run Linux and you have nvidia card, than you have to have both of these option in the screen section of xorg.conf:
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
First option enables to detect the available refresh rates properly by your nvidia card, the second enables changing from the default 60hz refresh rate to any other refresh rate.
You can check if everything works ok in the options/video settings try to change the resolution to 1080p/24hz after that in the MENU screen press "S" and there check INFO and you can see the actual refresh rate there. If everything is fine, you can see 24hz there.

Hello!
Maybe this subject has been handled elsewhere, but since the last comments been on the subject i figured i'd ask.
XBMC - Smoothvideo branch: VPDAU finally supports "Adjust refresh rate", this is good. But what fps does this feature support? Playback for ALL kinds of media would suggest that the following fps is supported:
- 23.976Hz
- 24Hz
- 59.94Hz (2x29.97Hz)
- 60Hz
If not, XBMC has a huge issue if quality playback is of interest. Myself, i hate stuttering. Also, audio should be synched to each fps.
There's no shortcuts for "smoothvideo"!

EDIT: Well, i was definitely not the first to address it. Found a great post that clarifies, and suggests that the problem must be handled: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=323847&postcount=7
Thanks to anderskkan.

The ones that your display can use I would have thought.

Try Pollisofts' latest build.

Be sure to set "auto refresh rate" on in the video settings if your TV supports 24 50 and 60hz. This way you will have perfectly smooth playback.
so this does not support 48hz? my projector can not do 24hz..
in mediaportal I tell it to run this command when playing 24fps and 25fps content:
c:\\windows\\system32\\rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll,dtcfg setmode 1 1280 720 32 48
