MrMC is switching for the file below to 120hz output instead of 24hz output. See the log and the mediainfo below.

FYI, playback in the Plex app on shield is correct at 24hz output.

As 120 is a multiple of 24, this is expected, really (same with 25 and 50). MrMC goes to the highest multiple.
Is there an issue with those playing @ 120?

I understand the concept. I should have explained why I didn't like what was happening. Oddly enough, it looks choppy on my TV. Playback in the Plex app, which switches to 24hz, looks proper.

Would it be a problem to just switch to the actual matching framerate and not a higher multiple? Speaking of that, I get a smoother picture watching 25hz material at 25hz rather than the 50hz output that MrMC does.

It makes actual sense with 25/50 for interlaced, as there the framerate might be doubled (and it's actually the case on shield). Not for 24/120, ofc.

I'll see if we already have the interlaced information at framerate switching time, and not use multiple if not interlaced.
In any case, it doesn't make sense to multiply by more than 2, factually.

Sounds great!
