In my CCC I have -

Wait for vertical refresh > 'On, unless application specifies'

and in XBMC -

'Let driver decide'

great!

latest build from jester isn't jerky after 1st file, so this is the only bug that is preventing me from announcing XBMC as the greatest piece of software on Earth Smile

Be aware of subtitles not displaying after refreshrate change (it's a bug, reported, dunno if anyone is working on it). I have one more problem. Only 1st video file I play is smooth. Every file after that one is jerky. No matter if h264 or xvid, no matter what fps of the file. Exiting XBMC and running it again solves it but again just for one file... Anyone else noticed it?

Thanks. It didn't work, but I think it's an XBMC bug. If I set the refresh rate to 23,98 Hz the video is very smooth now and the 100Hz feature of my TV is working again. To let the driver handle vsync is the best choice for now, because the framerate in the codec info now are very stable. If XBMC handles vsync the rate is jumping from 23 to 25 Hz which ends in a jerky and stuttering video.

For now I can live with changing the refresh-rate evertime I want to look a 24 Hz Movie. I hope this will fixed soon.

I notice on my system when enabling the adjust refreshrate that the video resolution is changed as well to match the video refresh rate. I assume this is not the intention though!
What happens is that my television only supports 720p resolution at 50 or 60Hz.. any other combination is either not supported or switches to an internal other resolution that the tv can handle.
Is there a way to define a set of restricted resolutions and refresh rates XBMC has to comply to when using the adjust refresh rate feature?

@pollisoft,

can you re-test with the latest SVN and add a debug log of this test to the ticket?
just to help out the dev's...
Thanks

Has there been any progress on the "only refresh rate detected is the one at desktop level when you launch XBMC" front?

New logs based on SVN16914.
Adjust refresh rate ON, error still occurs: http://pastebin.com/fb2a8d2e.
Adjust refresh rate OFF, no error: http://pastebin.com/f4cdd88fb.
These logs are posted in the trac ticket as well.
Just PM me if new logs are wanted.

Subtitles work together with adjust refresh rate on SVN16995!
I want to be the first to thank Areascout for this fix!!! Big Grin
