Can't help with your issue, but I don't think it's recommended to be swapping hdmi cables with the equipment on. I have read that there is a small chance that you could fry the hdmi circuits on one of the devices. I have not experienced this, but I don't want to take the chance.

Might be worth investing in a little hdmi switcher?

I've noticed this behaviour for quite a while and I have the box wired in to Ethernet. I thought this was the case with wifi with bootup with hanging NFS mount but now it seems even these menus are hanging for some reason.

Ideas?

sounds like you upgraded from 4.2.1 to 5.0.0. While some might not have issues, there's a reason the OE folks recommend a fresh install. I had an issue with the OE network page being blank on a box I upgraded, fortunately deleting the add-on data cleared it up. I'd recommend you try that first, and if it doesn't work, then to do a hard reset.

Cinemas from used to run at 48hz). This was using plasmas, lcd does not flicker so one does not need to process the vertical sync @ 3 or 4 times.

Point is, 60hz is already a standard which is integer compatible with 30hz, so there was never a need for 30hz. It would be totally and utter pointless.

Even if your display supported both 30 and 60hz, the 60hz mode would be preferable. No blanking, smoother gui when going out/in of fullscreen. So when Kodi is using 60hz with your 30fps movie, it is doing everything correctly. This type of question pops up far too frequently. If only people could think for 1 second: Hmm, I wonder what the freaking *point* of "adjust display refresh..." is....?

2160/30p (and 2160/25p) are both standards for HDMI 1.4a (as 2160/50p and 2160/60p aren't supported on HDMI 1.x variants - though 4:2:0 2160/50p and 60p is within HDMI 1.4 bandwidths ).

720/25p, 720/29.97p, 720/30p, 1080/25p, 1080/29.97p and 1080/30p are all CEA 861 supported formats (and I believe at least one of my displays supports them and flags them via EDID) - though there is no need to use them over the 50/59.94/60p variants (unless you have bandwidth constraints)
