== General ==

=== Monitor ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Basic
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Select which screen {{kodi}} is displayed on (for multi-screen setups).
|}

=== Display mode ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Basic
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Changes the way Kodi is displayed on the selected screen. Either in a window or fullscreen.
|}

=== Whitelist ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Expert
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Whitelisted modes depending on the connected screen/monitor/TV which are allowed to be switched to when changing resolution and refresh rate.

Whitelist is the list of resolutions and refresh rates (available in your system) where Kodi can switch on to when play a content.

Kodi will only goes to switch if the exact resolution and refresh rate is matched in the whitelist, otherwise match the desktop resolution (and refresh rate).

Example:

Kodi set to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz
Content is 1920x1080p at 24 Hz

If you Whitelist "1920x1080p at 24 Hz" Kodi will go to switch to 1920x1080p at 24 Hz, otherwise (1920x1080p at 24 Hz NOT whitelisted) the content will put in play at 3840x2160 at 60 Hz.
|}

=== Resolution ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Basic
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Changes the resolution of the '''User Interface'''. Has no effect for playback. The ideal setting is the highest resolution your hardware supports and/or what the TV/Monitor is capable of. Be aware that reducing the resolution will pixelate the interface but it will not reduce the display size as the TV will always zoom the image to fill the screen. This setting is not available if you selected "Windowed" at the setting above.
|}

=== Use fullscreen window ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Basic
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| If enabled, fullscreen mode will be applied by using a window instead of the real fullscreen mode. This mode uses more resources so playback may be less smooth on lower powered hardware.<br>
This setting is available when {{kodi}} is installed on MS Windows. The main benefit is for multi-screen configurations, so that other applications can be used at the same time more easily. It does not use the DirectX fullscreen mode and prevents automatic minimising of the screen when {{kodi}} loses focus.
|}

=== Blank other displays ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Standard
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| In a multi-screen configuration, enable this setting to black-out the monitor that is not displaying Kodi. Occurs on Kodi startup and requires a restart of Kodi when changing the setting.
|}

=== Delay after change of refresh rate ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Advanced
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Delay a reset event after a change of refresh rate. Available options are:
* Off
* 0.1 - 20.0 seconds in 0.1 second increments <br>
When a Refresh Rate change occurs, there is a period of time when there is no video and audio available. This is defined by the video driver and display device and affects VideoPlayer and PictureViewer and other components.<br>
This setting allows you to delay the reset event and is useful for momentay refresh rate changes that then return to the previous refresh rate. This is not normally an issue with normal video playback, but can be experienced on multi-screen configurations where other work is being conducted on the second screen.<br>
This setting works in conjunction with '''''[[Settings/Player/Videos#Adjust_display_refresh_rate|Adjust display refresh rate]]'''''<br>
'''Note:''' All TV's will pause and blank when there is a change of Refresh Rate. This is not a problem with your TV or attached hardware.
|}


=== Dithering ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Expert
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Eliminate banding caused by RGB level conversion or other processing by adding a small amount of noise to the picture. This can be disabled for slower systems, or when Kodi is set to limited range RGB output and no video processing is needed.
|}

=== Colour management ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Expert
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Reproduce video colours accurately using a display profile or a 3D lookup table.
|}

=== Use limited colour range (16-235) ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Expert
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Use limited colour range (16-235) instead of full colour range (0-255). Limited range should be used if your display is a regular HDMI TV and does not have a PC or other mode to display full range colour, however if your display is a PC monitor, then this setting should be disabled for correct Blacks.<br>
If blacks are more like grey, there is a Colour Space error in the '''Kodi -> Hardware -> TV''' display chain. Read the following guides to help understand and locate the incorrect setting.

== Stereoscopic 3D ==
This section relates to playing 3D content

=== Stereoscopic 3D mode / Current ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Advanced
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Set the preferred 3D mode for the '''User Interface'''. Available options are:
* Disabled
* Over / Under
* Side by Side
* Anaglyph red / cyan
* Anaglyph green / magenta
* Anaglyph yellow / blue
* Interlaced
* Checkerboard
* Monoscopic / 2D
|-
| '''See Also:'''
| '''''[[3D|{{kodi}} and 3D]]'''''
|}

=== Preferred mode ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Advanced
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Set the preferred for when stereoscopic 3D media is played. Available options are:
* Same as movie
* Over / Under
* Side by Side
* Anaglyph red / cyan
* Anaglyph green / magenta
* Anaglyph yellow / blue
* Interlaced
* Checkerboard

== Calibration ==
This section provides basic tools that allow you to check and calibrate your display. As the topic of calibration is a complex issue and affects the Screen display and not {{kodi}} it is outside the scope of this wiki. If you are unsure how to use these tools, then an online search should return numerous guides.

=== Number of buffers used by graphics driver ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Advanced
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Defines the number of presentation buffers used by the graphics driver. Select 2 if the driver uses double buffering or 3 for triple buffering. You should consult the vendor for information on which buffering method your system uses. The default setting is '''3'''. If tearing is visible in the display, adjust this setting.<br>
Triple buffering is termed '''Fast Sync''' by Nvidia. Other vendors may refer to it as Page Flip and Render Ahead
|-

| '''''[[w:Framebuffer|Graphic Driver Buffers]]'''''
|-
| '''See Also:'''
| '''''[[w:Multiple_buffering#Double_buffering_in_computer_graphics|Double & Triple Buffering]]'''''
|}

=== Video calibration ===
{|
|- valign="top"
| width=120px | {{nowrap|'''Settings level:'''}}
| Expert
|- valign="top"
| '''Description:'''
| Calibrate the user interface by adjusting the overscan. Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display.<br>
{{red|'''Note:''' Always adjust the TV display settings first. Most issues are due to ''overscan'' and similar settings being enabled on the TV/monitor. Trying to adjust this setting in {{kodi}} while these settings on the TV are enabled will have you running in circles and never being able to fix the issue.}}<br>
Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display. Simply adjust the screen so that the arrows are in the top left and bottom right corners and that the entire frame is visible on screen.

It offers the ability to adjust:
* The overscan of the video - How close to the edges of the screen that the image is displayed.
* The position where subtitles are displayed (default 1042 for 1080p, 694 for 720p and 463 for 480p).
* The pixel ratio allows you to calibrate the aspect ratio at which videos are played.

Press '''ENTER''' on your keyboard / remote for the next section of the calibration. Use the {{keypress|up|down|left|right}} keys to make adjustments. Press {{keypress|Esc}} or {{keypress|back}} to return to the Settings page.

Kodi users are a demanding bunch when it comes to media players with Kodi & having as-close-to-perfect video playback capabilities as possible. All videos should play smoothly and w/o distracting artifacts such as stutters, frame skips, improper framerates, macroblocking, and audio drop-outs.

Below is a collection of a/v clips for testing, pushing media player capabilities. Not all types, but the most widely used or critical types for home theater enthusiasts. [[w:Fair use|Fair use]] is claimed on all non-[[w:copyleft|copyleft]] clips, as their the purpose is only for testing, technical evaluation, and documentation.

== Library samples ==

=== Ned's fake movie library ===
:A zipped collection of 1,000 empty movie files, with NFO files, poster, and fanart for each entry. Various movies from different years, including sequels/sets, remakes, movies named the same but unrelated, various genres, and so on. Useful for testing things like library scanning speed, library navigation, filtering, etc.

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/llciqryeqqk4t70/Test%20video%20library.zip?dl=0

=== Music library ===
: Just the one album for now but hope to increase this over time. It's a complete album in MP3 format, tagged with Musicbrainz Picard ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) with extra genre, comment and composer tags for testing. Coverart is also included as a folder.jpg file. The album is licensed "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Creative Commons license" by the artist. You can download or pay for the album here if you like it. http://hungrylucy.com/album/pulse-of-the-earth

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk8ue5fs49v5pnm/Creative_Commons_Music.zip?dl=0

=== Fake Sports TV Show library ===
: Here is a fake sports TV show library for use with the Kodi sports scraper. It includes a number of sports folders broken down into seasons and then events. This should work nicely with the current Sports TV scraper on the Kodi forums.

:* https://www.thesportsdb.com/Sports_fake_video_files.zip

=== Homebrew Game Roms ===
: This is a location to find a number of freely licensed "homebrew" console games that can be downloaded for testing with Kodi's upcoming retroplayer feature. They include NES, Gameboy and Snes titles.

Kodi users are a demanding bunch when it comes to media players with Kodi & having as-close-to-perfect video playback capabilities as possible. All videos should play smoothly and w/o distracting artifacts such as stutters, frame skips, improper framerates, macroblocking, and audio drop-outs.

Below is a collection of a/v clips for testing, pushing media player capabilities. Not all types, but the most widely used or critical types for home theater enthusiasts. [[w:Fair use|Fair use]] is claimed on all non-[[w:copyleft|copyleft]] clips, as their the purpose is only for testing, technical evaluation, and documentation.

== Library samples ==

=== Ned's fake movie library ===
:A zipped collection of 1,000 empty movie files, with NFO files, poster, and fanart for each entry. Various movies from different years, including sequels/sets, remakes, movies named the same but unrelated, various genres, and so on. Useful for testing things like library scanning speed, library navigation, filtering, etc.

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/llciqryeqqk4t70/Test%20video%20library.zip?dl=0

=== Music library ===
: Just the one album for now but hope to increase this over time. It's a complete album in MP3 format, tagged with Musicbrainz Picard ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3) with extra genre, comment and composer tags for testing. Coverart is also included as a folder.jpg file. The album is licensed "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Creative Commons license" by the artist. You can download or pay for the album here if you like it. http://hungrylucy.com/album/pulse-of-the-earth

:* https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk8ue5fs49v5pnm/Creative_Commons_Music.zip?dl=0

=== Fake Sports TV Show library ===
: Here is a fake sports TV show library for use with the Kodi sports scraper. It includes a number of sports folders broken down into seasons and then events. This should work nicely with the current Sports TV scraper on the Kodi forums.

:* https://www.thesportsdb.com/Sports_fake_video_files.zip

=== Homebrew Game Roms ===
: This is a location to find a number of freely licensed "homebrew" console games that can be downloaded for testing with Kodi's upcoming retroplayer feature. They include NES, Gameboy and Snes titles.
