This might be slightly unrelated, but I've noticed my ethernet speeds on the ATV plugged into the same exact bridge, even the same port, are hideously slow compared to the Aspire Revo it's currently sitting on. I'm talking in the 10x range.

Basically the network isn't fast enough for 1080p when using the ATV when it's plenty fast for the revo.

wget's from my server yield over 6M/s to the acer and around 500k/s to the ATV.

Any thoughts on this Davilla?

Code:
uname -a

Linux atv-ubuntu804 2.6.24-25-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 07:31:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

using 8139too/8139cp kernel driver it appears.

Did you force to c2 in the kernel command-line ? This can cause slow wired ethernet.

Not sure if this helps, but I spent a ton of time troubleshooting slow network performance similar to what you are describing a few weeks ago (ubuntu net install took forever).
For a unrelated reason I plugged the usb thumbdrive into a usb hub and then into the apple tv and the problem went away.
Reconnecting it directly killed network performance again so I gave up and left the hub connected.
USB drive I saw the problem with was a 8GB Patriot XT. Don't know if it is a software issue or a hardware issue relating to the close proximity of the USB port to the network port.

Yes, I believe per your recommendation somewhere Smile

Removing and rebooting...

EDIT: ZOOOM... that fixed it, Thanks.

EDIT 2: on second thought it was only fast for a little bit after bootup. It's slow again. Doing some more troubleshooting...

Hey @davilla, not sure if you're the guy, but looks like the gstreamer-plugin isn't working properly.

I had a bit of trouble getting it to compile. The code was looking in ../../../linux_lib/ldil and failing to link at the end, so I had to hack it a little bit to work with libcrystalhd instead.

It looks like it's almost going to play, but just falls over at the end.

Code:

The gstreamer-plugin is one of the areas that needs work. It was fine last time I tried it in ubuntu 8.04. Going higher than that has issues. Patches welcome as they say.

Still having slow ethernet problems. Not sure what else to try. Maybe upgrading the kernel manually or even running ubuntu 9.10 (assuming all of this stuff works on that).

Any other ideas to try?

EDIT:
Found what was causing it... now to find out why. I had "/bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg" running when killed everything got speedy again.

I installed ubuntu hardy on appletv, compiled new crystal source, compiled latest xbmc tree.

I am getting the following error in kern.log

What is causing this error?

Unfortunately I haven't fixed my networking speed problems. When I kill the dd process klogd goes bananas and uses full CPU (apparently the dd command is moving the kernel log output somewhere else so a non-root user can read it). When I kill the klogd command my network speed is slow again.

Network speed is fast when klogd is using full cpu and dd is killed though... which is very odd. Might try a new kernel if I can't figure anything else out... what's the word on the crystalhd drivers working on new kernels?

The released source code will be fine with newer kernels and distros. It's even 64bit safe too.

Question is crystalhd working in the current trunk? Or is the merge not completed yet? Smile

The crystalhd in my apple tv appears to be working fine here is what kern.log states. Is this what it should be saying?

xbmc can't seem to see it. I keep getting the following error in xbmc.log

I am just curious if it's something on my end or if it just isn't working yet and I need to be patient and wait. :-)

It's on your end Smile

Merge is complete but that does not mean all development stops. It just continues in trunk.

Thanks for the info. From what I posted does it look like the driver is loading correctly from looking at kern.log or is something missing?

Does the BCH_70012_run.sh need to be auto run whenever linux is restarted? I know their was some type of crystahd_link.sh that you stated needed to be run because the kernel never started it correctly.
