[PATCH] More auto framerate switching - HIMEDIAPLAYER

[futeko.com]

Is it possible to implement an option to force 23.976 Hz to watch Amazon Video and Netflix without stuttering?

On my "WD HD TV Live" i can set 24hz in the option menu (autoswitch off) and by that i can watch netflix perfect smooth. Never saw this on other mediaplayers. 

The problem would be that not all Netflix content is 23.976. See here for discussion about this problem wrt Wetek Core: http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index.php?p=/discussion/24796/netflix-and-refresh-rate-app-should-be-or-not-used

At list in Android 5.1.1 OMX report just 24, 25, 30, 50, 60.
Some user suggest to add custom display format 1080p 24Hz and 1080p 23.97Hz, 2160p 23.97Hz this can be work around for:
Kodi, YouTube, Amazon Video and Netflix use OMX so 23.976 --> 24, 29.97 --> 30 and 59.94 --> 60. 
Annoying time for switching resolution in slow switching device like Denon receiver.

If anyone want try can set via adb shell with disptest utility:
Replace value with:
4 --> 1080p/24
79 -->  1080p/23.976
74 -->  2160p/23.976

Code: [Select]

adb connect ip_player
adb shell disptest setfmt value
adb shell disptest setsaveparam

Ignore information form Settings / Display is not true, your FHD TV is not become UHD TV after set 1080p/23.976.
To set back to normal go to Settings / More/ Display / Custom display format  and set what need it 1080p60, 1080p50, 2160p30, etc.
Please post your experience all feedback are welcome.

Just curious, are we expecting this patch to be implemented in 1.0.8 firmware by HiMedia?

Just curious, are we expecting this patch to be implemented in 1.0.8 firmware by HiMedia?

This patch is mostly already incorporated in firmware 1.0.7 with 24p mode turned on.

What works in 1.0.7: is 50/60 > 23.976/24/25/30/29.97.

What doesn't work in 1.0.7 is 60 > 50 / 50 > 60. Also some interlaced 50/60 material is output at 25/30. These features are being considered for addition by HiMedia. We've requested that they are included along with more options to control how switching works.

In Himedia FW Videos with 50hz or 60hz are not detected for Framerate switching!
Nothing happens with for example with 720p 50hz, Framerate doesnt switch to anything

With autofmt it works but with latest Patch 29.97fps doesnt Change to 60 anymore, was working with previous Version ?

[pcristi]

29.97fps Auto framerate switching not intend playing to 60:

Video output 1080i
29.97fps not switching

Video output 720p/1080p
29.97fps is playing to 59.94

Video output 2160p
29.97fps is playing to 29.97

What is video output tested and latest Patch is 1.0.10.1 or 1.0.10.2?

With autofmt it works but with latest Patch 29.97fps doesnt Change to 60 anymore, was working with previous Version ?

Hello!
I have read, that this patch will work with Q5 (not PRO).
And i have  question.
I found this text:
- With 1.0.7 firmware, HiMedia 24Hz setting should ON for best result.
- With older firmware, HiMedia 24Hz setting should be OFF for best result.

and i have 3.0.3 firmware on my Q5. Should i turn ON 24Hz setting?

[looun]

yes,  turn ON 24Hz setting

[flydini]

When I turn ON 24Hz setting, the TV does not recognize HDMI 3 port (10 bit support). Q10 runs at the background but the view goes away. If I plug to another HDMI 1 port, I can see the view, turn off 24 hz and plug the HDMI port again (10 bit support) and it gets O.K.

interesting... HDMI output? 422 or 420?

[q10pro1]

as set in 1.8 to have automatic right for the dvd.iso fps and 1080p mkv to 24 and 23.976 fps?

[Mount81]

I have a question regarding YouTube app (full screen) playback and auto frame rate switching: Does it work with the 1.07 fw implemented, or with this patch at all? Or theres no support at all to get correct playback fsp in the case of any YouTube content?

Another question: are there any known -even minor- downsides or additional bugs with this patch, or I shouldn't worry and install it without any doubts? (I would install it only for the sake of correct DVD deinterlaced playback).

Thanks!

for having the correct fps on DVD.iso, I must also install autoFMTswitch_1.0.10 on 1.08 ?
