  • The refresh rate is not clear in the PVR stream so Kodi needs to start playback to detect it and then switch to the correct rate.

    I would try configuring the resolution whitelist like this https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

    I would also define the PVR fallback refresh rate to 59.94Hz as this appears to be what the streams are using. Right now Kodi tries to play at 25Hz and then switches. I'm wondering if this setting defines the initial rate that Kodi attempts? (not guaranteed, I'm not familiar with the setting or how it works in code). If not, setting the desktop refresh rate to 59.94 (not 60.00) might work better.

    Have a play and experiment.
