HDR

I like your program very much

I use your program on two andriod devices and same Tv samsung 2021 qled q70a hdr 10

1- mibox s : when I use hdr apple Aerial videos it keeps give me black screen

2- nvidia shield : when I use hdr apple Aerial videos it plays but without activated hdr feature so colors are washed , despite of when I play same videos on any media player on nvidia shield hdr activated and color works well with no problem

SDR Apple Aerial Videos works great on mibox and nvidia shield

Framrate match

when screensaver start during I am pausing a video from player that support framrate match like plex or nova ,, it keeps play on the same framrate of the video ,, it is mostly 24 fps because most movies are 24 fps ,, and when that happen video keeps judder ,, If you can find a way to prevent that it will be great

Thanks for that @Hotboy1987 - do you get the screen blanking when the screensaver runs from the home screen of the Shield?

I seem to get the same behaviour on the Chromecast with Google TV (Android 12) even though my TV is older.

I think this feature needs a little more work so I may leave it out of v1.4.1 and try and include it in v1.4.2

No I didn't get blank when screensaver starts from home

A quick question for everyone - on the Capabilities screen in Aerial Views, what refresh rate is listed? is it 59.94hz?

Hotboy1987 commented 1 year ago

Is 60hz (exactly) reported in the app or is it 59.94? the difference does matter :)

theothernt commented 1 year ago

Here is a new beta to try... (link removed)

What's changed The refresh rate will only be changed if needed, and differences between 29.97, 30, etc are ignored. There is no VRR (seamless) switching in this version (does anyone have the ability to test it?).

What I'd like tested, ideally...

  1. Running the screensaver with a mix of videos at 24fps and 30fps
  2. Running a video streaming app like Netflix, Disney+, etc then picking a 24fps film. Pausing the movie and waiting for the screensaver to start, it should set the screen back to 60hz for smooth playback at 30fps.

Another small update to refresh rate matching... (link removed)

theothernt commented 1 year ago

v1.5 has just been released with this option enabled. It'll be released in the Play Store, etc in the next couple of weeks.

If there are any issues, let me know... we may start a new thread/issue.
