'Adjust refresh rate' now working for Windows

What i find strange is that i'm like the only one pointing at beta2 to be very good, isn't any1 else trying or using the beta2 with 100% smooth image?
(You have to put your windows refresh rate @ 24 Hz for the beta2 and only if you play 1080p 24Hz material of course)

I wanna chime in to and say thanks also, keep it going and XBMC 9.1 will be GREAT! ;-)

Auto refresh in windows does nothing for me. And I have 24, 30, 50, 60 as native reported by my TV (LG 50PG7000) to the graphic card.

When I play a TV-series och movie that is 24p there is no change in refreshrate going on by XBMC. it just runs in the refresh I started xbmc in.

Holly shit! That simple! I was never thinkinkg about that.
I just bought a new ATI card instead of my nvidia, because I thought it is an nvidia problem. (OK, there were other reasons for replacing, but this was one of the major)

Thanks!

Have you tried the videos here (the one in samples.rar):
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e65a2...b9a8902bda

Especially the scene from transporter 2, when the camera is panning and circling above the buildings, and than, when the camera is panning vertically above the beach. Do you expereince supersmooth also there?
I am not, but I am not sure any more, if it is because refresh rate problem, or problem with vsync....

olympia, download Reclock from Slysoft forums, have a read at the readme.rtf file and find out what the problem could be. Really smooth, constantly smooth playback is a very tough proposition in the computer space.

That scene is particularly bad for benchmarking, i used to test with that one too. but i get choppy playback with coreavc and ffdshow too. It might be the movie or the mkv rip itself. You should try the killa sample.

The problem with the killa sample is that it's not particularly conducive to testing slow pans for stutter or judder. I think there's too much stuff going on, which is why it's great for testing decoding capabilities. Pretty much all pixels on screen are constantly moving. That makes judging judder/stutter kinda tough.

Well, if it helps, I test with two videos that have lots of Pans, but also have a few moments of high motion. I get a few graphical glitches in one, but not so much the other.

The first is the "Red Demo Real"

The second is BBC Motion Gallery presents "China Central Television"

Can you guys see all your refresh rates in the resolution list in XBMC?

When in 1920x1080 I can only see 60hz (fullscreen)

But when I go to windows and look at my monitor settings I see 23, 24, 25, 30, 50, 59, 60 as reported by the TV. Why aren't those showing up in xbmc?

I am running 16458
