Settings | Player | Videos |
This category contains the settings for the playback of videos
Actions
Play next video automatically
Settings level: | Basic |
Description: | A multiselect window gives the option to define which kind of video item will be played next automatically. Available options are: Music Videos, TV shows, Episodes, Movies and Uncategorized. |
- See also: Playlists
Skip steps
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | Defines the amount of time each press of the Skip button will skip forward or backwards. A single press will skip 10 sec forward or back. A double press will skip 30 sec forward or back and so on for each subsequent quick press. Use this setting to change the default skip values. |
- See also: Skip steps
Skip delay
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | Works with the previous setting. If you are having difficulty with the quick multiple presses, this setting allows you to increase the time delay between presses. The selection is none (which will cause the skip step to happen immediately and multiple presses are not possible) or a value between 250 - 3000ms (milliseconds). The default is 750ms. |
Playback
Adjust display refresh rate
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | This setting will switch the refresh rate of the TV / monitor to best match the frame rate of the video stream. This allows for perfectly smooth video playback. This option requires compatible hardware. [1] Using this setting may cause the TV or monitor to blank for a few seconds while adjustments are made. This is the TV adjusting for the new refresh rate and not Kodi.

Sync playback to display
Settings level: | Standard | ||
Description: | This setting enables the syncing of the video to the refresh rate of the monitor by altering the playback speed. When used in conjunction with the previous setting it allows a "fine tune" syncing. For example - watching a movie recorded at 23.967fps on a TV / monitor that is only capable of 50Hz will cause micro stutters, especially during panning shots. When this setting is enabled, the video playback is sped up to 104.271% of its original speed which simulates 25fps playback being a simple division of 50Hz.

Minimise black bars
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Stretches the video to minimise black bars. Note: May deform the image. |
Display 4:3 videos as
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Determines the zoom level that 4:3 videos are shown on widescreen displays. Options are: Normal, Wide zoom, Stretch 16:9, Stretch 16:9- Nonlinear, Zoom |
Processing
Render method
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Controls the method used by the player to process and display the video, (which is called rendering). |
Enable HQ scalers for scaling above
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Use high quality scalers when upscaling a video by at least this percentage. A value below 5% makes little sense as video is processed with high GPU load without any visible picture quality improvements |
