Client apps: option to add a brief playback delay when using match frame rate/resolution

[rekit 16]

Why it would be helpful: When using match frame rate and/or match resolution with any app - Emby included - (usually with external streaming devices rather than native tv apps), the display will briefly go black while the frame rate and/or resolution are switching, and audio will start playing while the screen is still black. Some apps (Smarttube is one of them) have the option to add a brief delay (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 seconds etc) to playback so that playback doesn't start while the display is still black, and if you choose a duration that works for your setup, the timing makes playback feel seamless.

Hi, yes this has come up before and it makes sense. Thanks.

@Lukeoops, thanks I'll try to track it down

That's exactly one of those details that would make emby even more shiny

I'd also like to see something like this. Playback always starts before synchronization between all devices is complete and I have to skip back when the screen finally comes "alive".
