I should've read these instructions first, as I had struggled to get Auto framerate switching from the start.
Although the feature only seems to work when I set my TV to either 60hz, it won't switch to 23.976 when my TV is at 24hz.
All of my 23.976fps videos work in Kodi correctly now, and there's no more crosstalk / ghosting in my 3D SBS videos either
- Provided I set my TV to 60hz!

Can I make 1 suggestion? Not a problem with the HiMedia player (it's perfect for me now, and I wrote a review on it calling it the best player in its class), but rather for convenience.
I have some videos with non-standard framerates, i.e. 23.975fps. When I play these in Kodi, it won't switch because it doesn't recognise the framerate. So it will play 23.975 at 60hz, which causes a lot of stuttering. I have to perform these steps before to fix:
1. Disable auto-switching
2. Change output resolution to 2160p24
3. Restart the player
It still stutters but very rarely.
I can think of two solutions for this:
1. When there is an unsupported framerate, let the wrapper switch to the closest matching framerate. If we can get 23.975 to play at 23.976, the stuttering will be few and far between - even better than setting output resolution to 2160p24!
2. Alternatively, allow switching from 24hz. It will let me watch 23.975 videos at 24hz which will have minimal stuttering, and supported framerates (i.e. 23.976) will still play perfectly without having to change any settings.
Thank you!
