Scanline moving up the screen during 23.976 playback
#1
Hi,

Not sure I am using the right terminology here when I say a "scanline" is moving up the screen? Basically, during playback of 23.976 content (with the TV having switched to 24p) I see a single very faint line moving slowly up the screen, I don't experience this watching the same content at with the TV switched to 60p.

I am running 64bit Arch Linux with XBMC 12.2 on a core2 duo CPU system with an Nvidia G210 512MB Graphics card with HDMI output to a Samsung UE42F5500AK LED TV. The Nvidia driver version is 319.32[/code]

I am using the xorg.conf linked below with an appropriate modeline for 23.976 playback taken from other XBMC forum articles.

In XBMC system>video>playback> I have the "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" option enabled. Note that I do not have "Sync playback to display" enabled, the reason for this is, no matter which of the 3 options I choose for sync A/V sync method [Audio Clock, Video Clock(resample audio) or Video Clock(Drop/Dupe Audio)] all of these throw audio out-of-sync immediately. Audio only stays in sync if I have "Sync playback to display" disabled.

With the above settings in place, when I select a file with 23.976 content my TV switches to 24p mode and Xorg.0.log shows X switching to the correct 23.976 mode. xbmc-xrandr also shows the current playback mode as 23.97576

I have tried enabling Auto deinterlacing with Auto set as the deinterlacer during playback but this has no effect (not sure if it should to be honest, as I don't fully understand a lot of the video settings in XBMC).

Any guidance on this issue is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
