PKC gets stuck in a mode incompatible with TV #2066

Describe the bug

Twice out of 50+ plays I've had Kodi via PKC start to play a 1920x800 24 fps file and fail in a strange and somewhat hard way. I have refresh rate switching on and 1920x1080 / 24 Hz in the whitelist. Instead of playing, my TV shows an error message that the resolution/mode is unsupported. I then need to restart the computer, since it's seemingly stuck in a bad resolution. Alt+F4 or Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't bring things back.

The strange thing is that trying to play the exact same file again after restart just works. So I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what might be going wrong.

At first I thought this was just a Kodi thing. But it happened again last night, and I managed to grab a log. And the last line that makes me unsure if this is PKC or Kodi.

An excerpt is below. I accidentally restarted Kodi, so kodi.log.old with the error was overwritten. But I'll post a full log the next time it happens.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a 1920x800 file (at least it happened 2x on such a file)
  2. Play
  3. 99 times out of 100 no problem
  4. Sometimes, display complain about a bad resolution and the whole compute rneeds to be reset

Expected behavior

Kodi switches resolution and refresh rate. File is played.

You need to attach a KODI LOG FILE!

Sorry, I restarted Kodi in the meantime, and kodi.log.old was overwritten. I'll post a full log the next time it happens.

Sorry, but the log file from the session when the error occurred was overwritten when I restarted kodi. I’ll send a full log the next time it happens.

This is mooooost likely something that has NOTHING to do with PKC. PKC only tells Kodi what to play, everything else is up to Kodi. If playback does not work out, it's a Kodi issue.
