[SOLVED] Force 50Hz menu display?

[Skywatch]

If it did work I wouldn't have posted the issue here

But it doesn't work for me on a Pi 2.

When I select 50Hz, it does change to 50Hz, but only briefly flashing the menu on the screen for a second or so before reverting automatically to 60Hz.

Since I am in the UK and 50Hz is the norm, I am at a loss as to why this is happening. I never had this issue before so something has changed!

OK I found what was causing this.....after about 6 hours


Anyway, if anyone else suffers this problem a temporary workaround is to go to system>settings>video>playback> and make sure that adjust display rate to match video is set to OFF.

Now it works fine with no blanking but it is not the ideal solution as now my 50Hz files are being converted on the fly to 60Hz, which seems a waste of energy. Anyone able to help get the menu into 50Hz mode???
