[SOLVED] Force 50Hz menu display?

[Skywatch]

Hi,

With Pi 2 I have a problem. It keeps defaulting the kodi menu display to 60Hz and I need 50Hz for PAL playback.

Kodi/Xbian switches fine to 50hz when a video is played, but the projector has to re-sync as the video starts causing a blanking of the display for a time while the pi goes from 60Hz menu resolution to 50Hz playback resolution. It also happens when the video stops and the display goes back to 60hz for the menu to display.

I have tried setting 50Hz from within Kodi from system>settings>system>video preferences, but when I select 50Hz it changes the refresh rate from 60Hz to 50Hz, then flashes the menu page briefly and then reverts back to 60Hz! - It just won't stick on 50Hz no matter what I do.

Is there a config or hack to achieve this please? I have already tried hdmi_mode=31 in config.txt with no success.

I then added the following to the advanced user xml file in /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata, again no luck!

<override>
<fpsmin>23.96</fpsmin>
<fpsmax>30.01</fpsmax>
<refreshmin>49.0</refreshmin>
<refreshmax>51.0</refreshmax>
</override>

<fallback>
<refresh>50.0</refresh>
</fallback>


<fallback>
<refreshmin>49.0</refreshmin>
<refreshmax>51.0</refreshmax>
</fallback>
