Kodi / documented application workflow · Publisher-documented application guidance; UK IPTV account compatibility not tested. Instructions are based on publisher guidance; a UK IPTV account was not tested on this platform.
Distinguish the two settings
Kodi documents Adjust display refresh rate and Sync playback to display as separate controls. The first concerns the display mode; the second can alter playback speed to align with the display. Their names are related, but they are not synonyms. Record the original values before changing either one, especially when investigating a setup whose external audio was previously working.
Read the audio consequence
The official video settings page says that using playback-to-display synchronisation disables Audio Passthrough because Kodi may need to adjust the audio stream. If an external receiver’s format display changes after this setting is enabled, include that change in the report. Do not immediately diagnose a lost subscription, broken HDMI cable or missing audio track from the receiver label alone.
Compare a controlled sample
Use the same authorised clip, output device and speaker route while changing one documented setting at a time. Observe motion and sound separately, then restore the original arrangement if the change does not meet the intended need. A smoother pan with a different audio route is a result to evaluate, not proof that the system has achieved every desired requirement.
Keep compatibility claims narrow
The wiki’s display-rate guidance requires compatible hardware and warns that a television can briefly blank while changing modes. Those observations should be distinguished from network stalls. Menu defaults can differ by Kodi version, so retain the installed version in the record. This explains the published setting interaction; it supplies no universal recommended configuration or claim that UK IPTV playback was tested on the connected receiver.
