Sorry, my mistake.

And yes it couldn't possibly be anything else.

Unfortunately there is a problem with this. Apparently it's able to get custom resolutions only when they are active at the desktop level.

I ask to the developers, is it possible to keep different custom resolutions in the list? From what i can see it's getting all the standard resolutions from EDID or control panel, I don't know. But the 1366x768 one that i have set at different refresh rates seems to count just as one.

My LCD supports all those refresh rates also and I can set this refresh rates from XBMC but for me auto adjusting isnt working on build 16449 (I think you ment 16438 not 16483 Smile ). I am on Radeon HD3200, latest ATI Drivers. I set my screen to AUTO, 1920x1080x50 and 1920x1080x60(full screen). when I start 24fps material screen blanks (like xbmc tries to change refresh rate) but it stays at 50 or 60Hz and video stutters. Of course if I change manually to 24Hz video is smooth as my wife's ass Smile Didn't check the log, will do it later this evening

well... I'm clueless...

Here is the part of log, just interesting one:

20:21:06 T:80484 M:926752768 NOTICE: Creating audio device with codec id: 86020, channels: 2, sample rate: 48000, no pass-through
20:21:06 T:80480 M:923914240 NOTICE: fps: 23.976025, pwidth: 1280, pheight: 528, dwidth: 1280, dheight: 528
20:21:06 T:80480 M:923901952 NOTICE: Display resolution ADJUST : 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz (48)
20:21:06 T:80480 M:923901952 WARNING: Upscale: selected algorithm 1
20:21:06 T:81256 M:923897856 NOTICE: GL: Selecting YUV 2 RGB Progressive Shader
20:21:06 T:81256 M:921665536 NOTICE: GL: NPOT texture support detected


and then the video starts. XBMC trys to swithc to 24Hz, screen blanks as it suppose to do while changing refresh rate, but the refreshrate itself don't change. No matter what sceen settings I use - 24hz/50hz/60hz. Is it problem with ATI? Can any1 else with HD3200 try latest SVN builds and post some results?

Adjust refresh rate works for me. My Specs below. But i really can't se any difference between 60hz or 24hz so i turned it off again. What am i supposed to see? smoother picture? not really... I did have sync problems with a couple of MKV's at 24hz also, but most of them synced fine so i guess can blame that on those MKV's.

I see HUGE difference when playing non matched refresh/fps and matched. running 24fps on 24Hz gives me smooth playback while mismatching it gives me subtle but annoying for me jerkiness. Me thinks that maybe it's ATI thing? People reporting auto refreshrate adjust working are on nvidia as far as I know... Don't have nvidia card system at home... Sad
