    Here's a pull request for that:

    Code:
     https://github.com/oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins/pull/158
    Glad to see that you continued working on it

    Just tested that, which leads to the following questions:
    1- There is no SD 24fps option. Not sure if it was there before (or that we need it at all)?
    2- For 720p50 there is no option 720p50 (although for 720p24 there is 720p24). One can however set it to 720p, and in a later line the rehresh rate of 720p can be set to multi. Not sure if this is consistent behaviour?

    Not sure; the embedded AR-functionality is meant for the most commonly used settings. Those who want more just install the plugin.

    A simpler version already is in there.
    Personally I find it much simpler just to set the output of the box to be the "best" resolution that my TV can handle and let the box do any scaling. And I would expect that to be the simplest method for everyone except those who have multiple TVs with differing capabilities connected to the same box, so I'm always surprised to see everyone recommending turning on Automatic resolution.
    One other advantage, to me, of forcing the box to switch everything to 1080i/p is that this means my TV will always be receiving one resolution. It uses overscan by default, and I have to configure it to turn this of for each individual resolution (and on each individual port, IIRC).

    Yes my TV's do my switching too ... I'm just pleased that my 4K TV can display 4K signals and then when I change to SD/HD signals on VU+ box the TV re-scales to 1080p automatically ...

    @Rob ... yes its obviously more user friendly to have a "basic" AR in AV Settings ... the only issue I have with plugins is that they sometimes get "left behind" as images improve/develop ... obviously more popular plugins are maintained to adapt to image upgrades etc

    ... the case of AR is case of such a plugin needing work hence this Thread I guess!!

    Obviously some plugins are usually a 3rd party creation and I'm sure you image creators have to work/adapt with others to adopt them into your operating image??

    Well, I've not changed anything in that area.
    The only thing I can think of that used 24fps signals was a DVD, which was always(?) 720p?

    2- For 720p50 there is no option 720p50 (although for 720p24 there is 720p24). One can however set it to 720p, and in a later line the rehresh rate of 720p can be set to multi. Not sure if this is consistent behaviour?
    No it isn't. Or it wasn't, so I've changed it.

    AR-plugin.zip

    (It also meant that "720p" showed up twice in the list...)

    Which is what I find odd, since turning it off completely is by far the simplest thing to do and so should be the most commonly used setting - IMHO.

    Plugins have all sorts of lay-outs, issues with multiple images and are sometimes 'closed source'. We can often work-around issues, but not always.

    It is
    1 = no AR
    2 = use embedded AR
    3 = use AR plugin
