AutoRefresh: Support Thread

ATI underscan settings maybe? They're refresh rate specific.

You really should run it at 50 Hz though.

Ah, if they're refresh specific that would explain it. Yeah, for 25 content I've sorted it to run at 50, so for all recorded content all is good. I've noticed for the odd mkv I get a small boarder (not checked what refresh rate they are), but for the silky smooth playback I can live with that.

Thanks for your help and a great plugin

Sorry for the slow response...was out of town on business the beginning of the week and am just now getting to this. Does the patched version you posted for me work with nPVR 2.6.2? I can't get nPVR to recognize the plugin.

No, it was built against 3.1.1.

I can probably rebuild against 2.6.2 though, so gimme a few hours and I'll post another copy. I'm interested to know if it works, as I've still not set up a multi-monitor test myself.

Sorry...'just updated to nPVR 3.1.1 and the original zip you uploaded started working. It does in fact solve my problem if I specify the monitor number for my HDTV...so problem solved. Thanks for the great plugin!

Hi Iain

can autorefresh account for Blu-ray (discs and folders) with content that has differing fps? I have some bbc blu-rays that are 25fps as well as normal movie Blu-ray discs at 24fps.

No, unfortunately not. If it's folder based, you might be able to override the framerate using the instructions on the wiki for manual overrides, but there's no hope for physical discs as NPVR (and the plugin) only know a disc is being played; they have no idea what part of it is active.

whurlston has started on a real blu-ray plugin though, and it's likely that it would be able to feed this info to AutoRefresh, so there is hope for the future.

Hi all,

1st up thanks for the excellent plugin.

I was wondering, is there a way to specify a default rate (standard 60hz desktop) which it would default to and then a rate for live tv/when there is no metadata available from mediainfo (50hz) as to me they seem like different things..

For example I view live TV at 50hz as I am PAL and Live TV is the only 25/50hz content I would ever view so I prefer not to have the TV processing the image which is bad for gaming and a lot of mouse lag etc when not using NPVR. So ideally I would like to have the plugin switch back to 60hz either on live TV playback stopping or on NPVR exit if that is possible?

Cheers, Bob.

I could probably add something like this, although it'll be a while before I can find the time for programming again.
