Hi. I use Libreelec 10 on a Raspberry Pi 400 connected directly on a Benq HT2050A projector (Full HD). Everything works great except this problem where the projector would go black for about 7 seconds each time I play a video. I'm using the delay video option but that doesn't seems to work correctly for playlists. Reading around it seems this is caused because the two parts need to work out resolution and/or refresh rate if I understood correctly. The solution to this seems to be to use the whitelist option. I checked the whitelist section, and I get alot of modes in there to choose from.
In general, is it better if the scaling is done by the Pi or the projector? Lets say I have a 480p video, if I whitelist this mode, Libreelec will send it to the projector as is (from what I understand), and the projector will do the scaling to 1080p. If I don't use whitelist at all, the Pi will do the scaling to 1080p and then send it to the projector. Any difference on picture quality between these two cases? If the scaling is done by the projector, is it taxing for the projector, it gets hot as it is and I don't want it to release even more heat in the room, especially during summer. Thanks.
