European video content is normally produced at a 50Hz field rate while North American content is usually made in 60Hz. When streaming video, it is much better to use the original frame rate than change it to a different one. Frame rate conversion is one of the hardest conversions to carry out so players and displays will always adapt to the frame rate of the source material if they can.

It may simply be the case that incoming video is 50Hz material so it will get displayed at 50Hz. It might also be the case that the player is set to operate at 50Hz in the menu settings. Depending on the region it comes from, the player may be factory configured to output only at 50Hz. The manual that came with the player may specify this.
