yes, this was in xbmp. however, we found it caused too many problems, as users who don't know what they're doing switch it and then find they have no video. this causes support nightmares.
until a way can be done to autoswitch it back reliably, we won't implement any eeprom writing stuff - it's far too problematic.

not much point really - if you want proper 25/30 fps support and your tv can do both pal and ntsc then you could just run pal with pal60 enabled and get the same effect.

hi
not sure how many of you switch between pal and ntsc mode but when you do you have to reset the user interface resolution each time.
my request is to suggest a setting for both pal and ntsc on user interface->resolution screen (as build 2004-06-03). so when rebooting you get the region setting automatically. or, so as not to change the skin, just have a place in settings.xml for each regions resolution.
i use enigmah to change region - maybe xmbc could do this also, but i guess this would require a skin change.
thanks

can we put in the xbmc access to the video parameters that can easily be adjusted as in avalaunch's setting. these are very use full w/ eprom write back func. all in one spot.

adding writing to the eeprom for video preferences will be added after 1.1 is out. turning the widescreen/hdtv flags will definitely be added. not sure if we're going to allow ntsc/pal switching or not - too many problems with ntsc people creating "no video output" problems.

hrm.... not really sure how else to explain it....
from my main screen, i go to the settings menu, then interface, then where you can adjust the resolution, i should be able to select different resolutions, but it is stuck on ntsc, there are no other options...

just a thought about the failsafe problem and support nightmares (or maybe this is included in jmarhalls "reliable" autoswitch?) but couldnt a similar method to the ms windows way of doing it be used. if user swithces to another system a dialog is presented stating something like:"you have switched to pal. if you want to keep it like this select yes otherwise xbmc will switch back to ntsc automaticallly in 10(, 9, 8, 7 and so on) seconds."? if users tv don't support it the dialog will never be seen and the xbox is reset.
