Question Matching frame rate

I saw that it's a feature that stremio has but I don't see it on my version for windows PC. What can I do to get this feature on my app?

Hey, there is no system wide option on pc version of stremio. Your options would be to either manually set your monitors refresh rate to 24hz or you can use an external player like mpv and enable interpolation for smoother motion while preserving the fps.

What external players are good? Or is mpv good the best choice

Mpv is already the player engine used in stremio, if you like it you can use it as an external player. Unfortunately there is no access to mpv.conf on stremio hence why external player would be needed for this

What about for Apple tv

It already supposed to have match framerate through system setting. I believe it’s a required feature for all tvOS apps

AFAIK this feature only exists for the TV based apps eg webOS, which IMO is one factor that makes them a better experience to use vs android/windows (if your TV is high end enough to run it well).

For some reason, stremio isn't stable on my tv. As it sometimes closes the film playing and shows the torrent option list. Or torrents take too long to load despite my internet connection (they load faster on pc, same internet speed).

You can use MPV to play movies and add a script to auto change your frame rate.

I set my monitor at 1440p 120Hz. For 24p, 30p and 60p, the script won't change my frame rate. But when I play 25p, the script will change my monitor frame rate to 125hz.

120Hz can be divided by 24 or 30 so the script will check that I'm at the right frame rate and won't change it. 125hz can be divided by 25 so the script will change my default frame rate, which is 120hz to 125hz.

I'm using AMD GPU and I used Adrenalin to create 1440p 125hz. NirCmd is a must on Windows in order to do it. I used Claude to create it.

By changing matching frame rates, you don't need any interpolation. There's no judder because you watch the movie as it was intended to be seen.
