Description

Use display as clock is not supported on GBM and before the
multi-windowing change it has been hidden in settings via gbm.xml.

Hide it in settings so it can't be enabled in player settings and
also make sure it's disabled in case it had been enabled before,
otherwise users would be left without audio passthrough and no
option to fix this via the GUI.

Motivation and Context

Restore behaviour prior to the multi-windowing change and make sure
users aren't able to select a known non-working option

How Has This Been Tested?

Runtime tested on LibreELEC RPi4, checked that previously enabled setting
is getting disabled (with a WARN in log) and that option is not shown in video
player settings.

Types of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that will cause existing functionality to change)
  • Cosmetic change (non-breaking change that doesn't touch code)
  • None of the above (please explain below)

Use display as clock is not supported on GBM and before the
multi-windowing change it has been hidden in settings via gbm.xml.

Hide it so it can't be enabled in videoplayer settings and
also disable it - otherwise users who previously enabled it
would be left without audio passthrough and no option to fix
this via the GUI.

AFAIK, the speedup functionality https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=10023&pid=2379972#pid2379972 depends on "Sync playback to display". This is one of THE killer functions within Kodi for me to watch movies and TV episodes faster. Please be sure to provide an alternative to keep it working.

Well, 2 days is certainly far from old, and you have taken note of it so my work is done. I don't want to waste your time by having you read this twice.
