I just bought a WDTV Live Streaming ‘PAL’ version in the UK: WDBGXT0000NBK
My TV is a nice old Panasonic plasma, but it doesn’t have 24p input, just 50hz and 60hz.
I expected the WDTV to play 24p content at 60hz (3:2) just like a blu-ray player. However, no matter what I try it plays it at 50hz (reported by TV) and it is very juddery.
I have video set to HDMI Auto, and Match video framerate to ON. 50hz content plays at 50hz and 60hz content plays at 60hz.
The only way I can get it to work is to manually select 60hz HDMI output, then the 24p plays at 60hz and it is at least watchable just like a blu-ray.
Playback from local USB. Tried a fresh Blu-ray Disc backup of raw folder structure, same result. Tried different TV also without 24p input, same result.
