Kodi.AmLogic.script.frequency.switcher

Automatic refresh rate switcher for Kodi running under Android in AmLogic boards (S802 based, mainly)

Based on the Minix Frequency Switcher: (http://www.minixforum.com/threads/autoframerate-detection-switching-output-in-xbmc.601/)

  • Modified to run on all AmLogic boards.
  • Modified to run on Kodi instead of XBMC.

/sys/class/display/mode needs to be writable.

With Kodi supporting automatic rate switching, this addon in useful mainly for S802 boards that can't perform HDMI handshake, resulting in "null edid" in /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap

Kodi uses information in that virtual file to determine valid resolutions/refresh rates. Submited PR to Kodi to support manual override of "disp_cap" to try to circumvent the issue: xbmc/xbmc#7257
