- davilla - 2011-07-13 homer_doh Wrote:davilla, is there a roadmap for Crystal HD in Mac mini/ATV? There hasn't been any updates to the driver/kext since october 2010. It works quite well for me, 720p @ 59.94 is pretty much the only (repeatable) issue I have. No roadmap except to update it (xbmc code, chd lib/driver) at some time. I don't give out timelines as they are too volatile and tend to change. - Observer - 2011-07-14 davilla Wrote:No roadmap except to update it (xbmc code, chd lib/driver) at some time. I don't give out timelines as they are too volatile and tend to change. @davilla, are there many/any fixes in the Crystal/Broardcom drivers/firmware/lib since the current version ? Is there a road-map of feature that my be supported in better the future like MPEG2 ? utilizing the full capabilities of the Crystal HD card ? I don't suppose anything can be done to improve the support of VC-1 ? I understand that if there i no significant demand there is little chance of changes. Thanks ! Crystal HD Suspend Issue - An9eluS - 2011-08-08 I've got an Intel d510mo atom box running on Ubuntu 10.04 and got a Crystal HD BMC70012 a couple of days ago. I installed the driver and libs found here: git://git.wilsonet.com/crystalhd.git I was then able to compile XBMC from the trunk with Crystal HD being detected when I ran the ./configure It seems to run fine, I only have a few HD videos but there's about 30% less strain on the CPU and no juddering when it's using CHD as the renderer. My problem is with suspending the system, which obviously you do with a htpc all the time. Every time I suspend and wake if I play a HD video the renderer is now FF instead of CHD. If I look in settings > videos > playback I can see that there is no longer any Crystal HD rendering option present. At this point I jumped back out to the terminal and ran lsmod, the crystalhd driver is still loaded after resume. So why can't XBMC detect it anymore, is this a known issue? I googled my ass off before posting this as I didn't want to bark up an old tree. Let me know if xbmc or system logs will help. - sealbeater - 2011-09-23 Hi I have a problem. I have pulled new code from git, and when I try to compile I get the following error. CC [M] /root/tmp/crystalhd/driver/linux/crystalhd_flea_ddr.o /root/tmp/crystalhd/driver/linux/crystalhd_flea_ddr.c: In function 'crystalhd_flea_ddr_pll_config': /root/tmp/crystalhd/driver/linux/crystalhd_flea_ddr.c:152: error: implicit declaration of function 'msleep_interruptible' cc1: warnings being treated as errors At top level: cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable" I've tried gcc 4.4.6 and 4.5.3 to no avail. I've also tried to edit the .crystalhd_fleafuncs.o.cmd but it keeps getting overwritten. Any idea how I can get this to compile? - zipiju - 2011-10-13 Hi, today i have installed BCM70015 on XBMC Live 10.1. After boot, this is in dmesg and the card is not accelerating video: Code: [ 12.001757] Loading crystalhd v3.10.0 lspci output: Code: 02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 1615 I've also tried drivers from Broadcom site, from http://git.wilsonet.com/crystalhd.git/ and from http://code.google.com/p/crystalhd-for-osx/, but it's almost the same issue. Finally, i've put that card into another PC with windows, and there it is working as expected. Any ideas? Thanks. - davilla - 2011-10-13 Did you also install the lib and firmware? - zipiju - 2011-10-13 Yes I did. Edit: To be exact, the firmware is located in /lib/firmware Code: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2786404 2011-10-13 17:30 bcm70012fw.bin And lib is in /usr/lib/ Code: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-10-13 17:30 libcrystalhd.so -> libcrystalhd.so.3.6 davilla Wrote:Did you also install the lib and firmware? - davilla - 2011-10-14 Firmware image signature failure - zipiju - 2011-10-15 davilla Wrote:Firmware image signature failureAny solution to this problem? - davilla - 2011-10-15 whitebox:~ davilla$ md5 /usr/lib/bcm70015fw.bin MD5 (/usr/lib/bcm70015fw.bin) = 71d49df01f360f1581a1cfcf84bd1cfc - zipiju - 2011-10-15 davilla Wrote:whitebox:~ davilla$ md5 /usr/lib/bcm70015fw.bin Same Code: XBMCLive:/lib/firmware$ md5sum bcm70015fw.bin - brendch06 - 2011-10-29 Any chance this will be fixed in Eden? - davilla - 2011-10-29 brendch06 Wrote:Any chance this will be fixed in Eden? It's not an xbmc problem, it's a crystalhd driver/lib/firmware/something issue. - brendch06 - 2011-10-31 Thanks for the reply Davilla, so even though crystal HD works fine in Media Player Classic, other programs- it's a broadcom problem that it doesn't work in XBMC? - chrno - 2011-12-17 brendch06 Wrote:Thanks for the reply Davilla, so even though crystal HD works fine in Media Player Classic, other programs- it's a broadcom problem that it doesn't work in XBMC? If it's any consolation, I have exactly the same problem. I've tried several different kernel/driver/lib/firmware combinations, but haven't had a chance to test on "that other OS". At this point, I'm just glad to know that this doesn't appear to be a hardware problem. :-) |
