Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

Whitelisting in Kodi makes no difference. Behaviour seems the same whether Intel GPU drivers are set to 8 or 12 bpc, RGB / 444 / 442…

I don’t really understand the difference between “detailed resolutions” and “TV resolutions” - do I need to be adding 1080p23.976 as a “detailed resolution” as that is a different refresh rate to the 24fps shown in the “tv resolutions”? Or do I misunderstand?

I guess what I would really love is a simple, generic .bin file that tells Kodi that I have a TV which will accept 1080p and 2160p resolutions at all normal frame rates, as well as DD/DD+/TruHD/DTS-HDMA audio formats. Does such a file exist and might this help?

TV resolutions are CTA-861 standard resolutions intended for TVs, while detailed resolutions let you define custom timing parameters. TV resolutions are supposed to include both refresh rates, but that's up to the driver. If the driver added both, you should see both 23 Hz and 24 Hz listed in the Windows display settings. It's not possible to define both with detailed resolutions because Windows will consider both to be 24 Hz and only use one of them. Is 1920x1080 @ 24 Hz available in the Windows display settings, and is it scaled correctly? If so, the problem is on Kodi's end. I can't make a generic .bin file because I don't know what your TV supports. Do you have a copy of the TV's original EDID and the changes you made?
