i thought the ATV GUI doesnt support 4k 60p 10bit but the videos will be displayed in 10bit anyway if the TV supports it, isnt that the case?

I don't know about ATV gui support because I'm using stock firmware x96max that's maximum support value 4k 60p 4:2:0 above which TV posting about unsupported resolution.

Yes, I'm know, I'm tried this custom kernel by anpaza from 4PDA But I don't understand why x96max or s905x2 can't support 4k2k 60p 4:4:4? I for laugh tried turn on NVidia Shield to my TV via the same hdmi cable and it working how to charm...

That "approximate" fps is the only place I found so far (if there was a better one I'd have used it! And I guess I've not been the only one to search, even before I got that box only a month ago...), it has at least the advantage to work globally (compromise, as said), and I did not notice that much inconsistencies. I don't use Kodi white elephant though, that's maybe why
That said if you want to make it specific to Kodi, can't tell you but yeah, I hope it reports its own fps properly

Hi,
thanks for this amazing "idea" and work

But, I noticed an issue with the script.

I found some movie that switch to incorrect "hz" so I debug a little and can say that:
some videos has xx fps show in the player and yy fps in "/sys/class/vdec/vdec_status" that you use to read the fps for the switch

Many time in tv show... maybe for the repack with different audio, but I have many videos that are 23.976 fps and "/sys/class/vdec/vdec_status" show me 25 fps and the opposite:
videos with 25 fps that "/sys/class/vdec/vdec_status" show 23.976 fps

Is there another "status"/ "class" that we can use confront to?

P.S.
In alternative, I'm working on a "modified version" of your script that use the KODI LOG for a confront of fps
I think the correct fps is the one that I see in the player (I use KODI 18.1) or I'm wrong ?

Thanks again.

It happens sometimes... For example, it doen't work in some apps for IPTV.

I realized that some old codecs were possibly excluded from script (mpeg1/2, vc1...). Please try again with new version

It happens sometimes... For example, it doen't work in some apps for IPTV.

Then in means hardware decoding is not used there (e.g. interlaced contents, unsupported by hw).

Never happens

Anyway, thank you for your help. Finally I was able to change the frame rate! I configured it to run via Button Mapper pro app. Works like a charm.
I need it just in case if autoswitch script didn't work for some reason.
