Auto refresh rate switching for NVIDIA Shield TV

Automatically switches your display's refresh rate to match the frame rate of what you're watching. This makes motion slightly smoother and clearer.

Only works on NVIDIA Shield TV with the Netflix app.

This project is abandoned. If you are a developer and interested in completing it, you can find the source code and technical documentation here: https://gitlab.com/sampalmer/ratesync.
