Frame rate switching back to default after a short period. #657
Description
Describe the bug
I'm using Just player as an external player for Stremio on Stremio OS (basically a lineage/Android TV image) which is running on a Raspberry Pi5. It's the only player that seems to work correctly (apart from this bug obviously).
When a (for example) 24FPS 2160p video is sent to Just Player, it correctly identifies that the video is 4K 24FPS and when the video starts to play it will change the TVs frame rate to 24FPS. All good.
The issue is that after a short period (say 30 seconds) the frame rate changes back to 60 (which is the default) and so the video becomes quite choppy.
To Reproduce
Play 24FPS video from Stremio menu. Just Player will change the resolution when the video starts to play to one the TV supports that matches the video. After a short period (seemingly random), the screen refresh rate gets switched back to 24FPS.
Expected behavior
Video should stick to the correct resolution.
Device (please complete the following information):
- Model: Raspberry Pi5
- OS: Android 14/Stremio OS/Lineage OS
- Version 0.160
Media
While I did all my testing with Nosforatu and Terminator 2, I'll be using this sample from the Kodi Github going forward.
Additional context
I'm not fully convinced this is an actual Just Player bug. It's quite possible that Stremio being on in the background is what's telling the screen to go back to 60FPS, however, since Just Player is in focus, I would have thought that it is it that's dictating what the resoloution should be.
I did also try various settings on the television, but since it's advertising to the Pi that it supports 24FPS and this is working fine (for a brief period), I don't think the TV is to blame.
