[PATCH] More auto framerate switching - HIMEDIAPLAYER

[LeoeL]

The update procedure "- For update just run_me.bat with new version" didn't work. I had to uinstall and install again in order 1.3.9.1 to work.

Hi all,

is it possible to modify the script somehow to run different framerates for the digital and analog video output?
To keep my Ambilight Hyperion setup running the video grabber needs 50/60 Hz. The Q5 Pro (FW 2.0. disables the analog Output while having 24p which is most likely related to the PAL/NTSC Standard.  Watching 24p movies with 50/60 Hz is not acceptable.
To abandon Ambilight would be pretty sad.

Has someone the same problem and could solved it?

Thanks for help.

Regards,
Marc

thank you @pcristi for providing the Autoresolution feature but unfortunately it does not work for me.

Installed Version 1.3.9.1 and tried some of my recordings in 720p50 and 720p25
all of them played back as 2160p/50 and /25 respectively.

My settings are custom screen 2160p50 and Colorspace 4.2.2
I suspect that this might be the reason.

So which settings are appropriate for AutoResolution to engage properly ?

PS: Original Firmware 2.0.8, 24p Option set, BD-Menus installed

running RUN_ME.bat from Win10 Powershell(Administrator) reported
daemon not running
daemon connected to IP:5555
rebooting (and the box did reboot)
but did not come back to the initial selection, I had to close the commandprompt hard.

OK, the inevitable question ... do I need to install auto framerate switching on the new 2.0.9. operating system?

The pcristi additional auto framerate / auto resolution patch will never be integrated into official firmware. It's an unofficial patch.

So yes it needs installing.

Thanks. Installed.

just to say...

i had tried the script autoFMTswitch 1391 with 208 firmware, OFW.

while the auto resolution (and frame rate) works, i got flickers and dropped frames when doing 4k HDR.

installed firmware 209, tried again - all is fine, working the way expected it to.

i do not know if 209 vs 208 firmware made the diff or if it wasn't installed properly the first time.

excllent work, thanks to pcristi and futeko!

@algernon2607
Option 2 is intend to pause video for 4 second usefully if ARV is switching slower.

So why didn't take this HiMedia and refine for integration in to their OFW? I would be much happier with an all-round issue free official solution, than with risking with semi-working unofficial solutions and "workarounds". Maybe it would worth to report to them, that there's a an initiative patch all ready for them to something to begin with and request also to do so. 50 and 59.94Hz auto switching for interlaced/DVD's is still a big deficiency of these Players. F-U-N-D-A-M-E-N-T-A-L feature since ages in dedicated media players.

Hello

I have no resolution switching with afr 1.3.9 and 1.3.9.1 on ATV 2.9.2 and 2.9.3 . I must oblige to dowgrade to 1.3.8.2 (i dont have 1.3.8.3).
Framerate is OK.
In all case the autoFMTswitchFlag file is correct :
ON
OMX
RSL

Thanks for some explanations.

hi pcristi,

re my last post aug 3, i managed to get auto res with OFW 209 and 1391 patch.

but it failed to work after some time.

tried with new 1392, still same, can't get it back.

i must hv missed something... what might that be...?

thanks.
