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 (-) will define backwards and no (-) will define forward. You can set multiple times so each press will skip more time in the video. So if, for example you use 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec when press the Skip button once it will skip 10 seconds foward, double pressing the Skip button will skip 30 seconds and triple pressing the Skip button will skip 60 seconds. |

Skip delay
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | Defines how much time it takes before the skip step occurs. The range is none (which will cause the skip step to happen immediately) & 250 - 3000ms (milliseconds). |
Playback
Adjust display refresh rate
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | This setting will switch the output refresh rate to the best refresh rate that is supported by the display AND by the hardware Kodi is running on (as reported by EDID) when playing a video file. It will automatically set the refresh rate which is best matched with the video that is playing. This potentially allows for perfectly smooth video reproduction, as video material can be recorded in a variety of frame rates (23.976fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97fps, 30 fps, etc.) which need to be properly matched by the refresh rate of the display, in order to be displayed smoothly. [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 itself and not Kodi.
|
Sync playback to display
Settings level: | Standard |
Description: | This setting enables a syncing of the video to the refresh rate of the monitor by altering the playback speed so that it matches the display refresh rate. When used in conjunction with the previous setting it allows a "fine tune" syncing. For example if you have a 50Hz only display but watch 24p content, the 24p content will look horrible if played at 50Hz. If you Sync Playback to Display it will play the 24Hz back at 25Hz (a simple division of 50Hz) which will look much nicer at 50Hz as there are no repeated frames (and thus no stutter) but the audio sync is out and needs to be adjusted either by re-sampling or by dupe/dropping.
|
Minimise black bars
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Allow video player to try to fit video to screen by ignoring aspect ratio by a certain amount.
Note: When watching a video that uses this setting, the picture will be stretched (deformed) by the % amount selected. |
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 |
Platform Specific Hardware Acceleration settings

Stereoscopic 3D
Playback mode of stereoscopic videos
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | Select in which mode stereoscopic 3D videos will be played. [Ask me] Will show a dialogue to select the desired mode for each playback. [Preferred mode] Will use the preferred mode specified in the "system->Video hardware" section of the settings. [Monoscopic/2D] will play the video in mono/2D. [Ignore] Disables any stereoscopic 3D processing and handling. |
Disable stereoscopic mode when playback is stopped
Settings level: | Advanced |
Description: | While enabled, GUI and some TVs will switch back to 2D mode, beween videos in a playlist or when playback ended. While disabled, GUI and TV will stay in stereoscopic 3D mode. For video playlists with mixed stereoscopic 3D and 2D content, then the GUI will also stay in stereoscopic 3D mode even when a non-stereoscopic 2D video is playing. |
