    If anyone is interested:

    Today I solved my problem. (actually I don't know how). First i plugged the RasPI directly to my projector. Suddenly I could choose all possible refresh rates (23.98, 24.00, 30.00,etc...). Then I plugged it in my receiver again --> didn't work. Then I saw that i have a HDMI splitter (TV and projector). I plugged the RasPI in the splitter --> didn't work. So i thought there is the problem. (The Cable from the splitter to the projector worked fine.)

    Then i unplugged the power chord from the splitter and changed the 2 HDMI cables. Suddenly it worked. Then I changed it back. Still works. Now everything is plugged in as it was before but the tearing line is gone. The only explanation I have is that there was a loose contact.

    Nevertheless I'm glad it works now.

    Thanks again for all your ideas!

    The TV is not the problem. The picture is fine.

    But on my projector i get one tearing line without stutter only if the file is in 24 Hz. Other files (60Hz,...) are fine.

    I tried connecting it directly which doesn't help.

    The funny thing is i can only choose 24Hz but i can't select 23.98 Hz.

    Hmm thanks the info. Maybe i'll try and connect it directly to the projector. (It's a lot of work because my rack is not friendly for changes :dodgy:).

    Installing a new build is no option at the moment i think. At least there are only very few files i can't play. Lot's of the "broken" files have a black bar at the top and bottom so the tearing line won't appear anyway. Let's see if there is improvement with following LibreELEC updates.

    If anyone knows an easy fix i'd apreciate it.

    Thanks for your help Padre


    Plugging the PI directly to the projector didn't work.

    Thanks for your input. Did you do that on LibreELEC? I have no /etc/rc.local file :/

    But the more concerning point is that if i type

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # tvservice --explicit "CEA 32 HDMI"
    Powering on HDMI with explicit settings (CEA mode 32)
    
    LibreELEC:~ # tvservice -s
    state 0xa [HDMI CEA (32) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz, progressive

    the PI switches to CEA (32) but again with 24.00Hz which gives me constant stutter and makes movies completely unwatchable.

    Is there any known problem with PI 4 and 23.98Hz?

    Hello!

    I've been trying a lot (and did a lot of google search) to solve my problem which wasn't very effective. Now i need your help.

    I'm running a Raspberry PI 4 (LibreELEC 9.2.1) which is connected to a receiver (Pioneer VSX 1025) which is connected to a projector (Sony VPL HW 40ES).

    Here is my problem. When i'm playing sources which are 1080p23.98hz i have a constant tearing line at the top of my image.

    In my opinion the problem ist the "wrong" HDMI output state.

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # tvservice -s
    state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB full 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz, progressive

    my config.txt


    I also have a RPI 3 (running with OSMC) connected to the same receiver and projector which gives me perfect output with no tearing.

    Code
    osmc@osmc:~$ tvservice -s
    state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (32) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 23.98Hz, progressive

    here is the config.txt of the pi 3

    If i run tvservice -p (on the PI 4 with LibreELEC) i get the following output from tvservice -s

    Code
     tvservice -s
    state 0xa [HDMI CEA (32) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz, progressive

    After that the tearing line is gone but it stutters like crazy. In my opinion the problem ist that there is 24.00 Hz instead of 23.98 but i have no idea how i can change this.

    No matter how i change the config.txt after I reboot the PI it always shows

    Code
    state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB full 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 24.00Hz, progressive

    I hope anyone of you can help me with this problem.

    (And yes i need the PI 4 too because the PI 3 doesn't manage to play all h265 files)
