tvOS - Match Frame Rate

[captainmac]

Hi folks, new member to the forum so I apologise if this has already been addressed elsewhere. I have noticed whilst using VLC for tvOS on my Apple TV 4K that the "Match Frame Rate" option within tvOS doesn't appear to be supported. I have an HEVC [H265] file in 4k 60fps - being in a PAL region my Apple TV is set to 50fps - iTunes content and other providers instantly switch the frame rate to match the content [as per setting in tvOS] - however sadly VLC doesn't appear to do this and there's a noticeable "judder" caused by the mismatched frame rates, this can be corrected if I set my Apple TV to 60fps for the particular file in question, however it is not possible to know the frame rate from within VLC on tvOS, and it is not feasible to continually go into tvOS settings to switch frame rates for each VLC video file.
Could the developers please look towards supporting the "Match Frame Rate" option within tvOS in the future? Thanks

We are considering to add support for this in the future, but you are right, this is currently not available.

Implementing this feature would be most useful! As the original poster said, manually adjusting the Apple TV settings to the correct frame rate works but it's not feasible.

Please keep up the good work with VLC for tvOS!

Is anyone working on this? Wondering if it is on the roadmap at all. As best I can tell, as of now, VLC still can't change the framerate to match the content.

We didn't come around to implement this in the last two years. This is annoying but due to the very small team working on VLC. It is on our list of things to do, but well...

I don't know if beta testers would be all at useful, but I'm happy to be one if you need volunteers.

tvOS on the ATV4K has a Match Dynamic Range & Match Frame Rate option. Would this solve the problem?

Hi!

Any news to that issue? I am also affected and the feature would be really great.
