No video at all - homer_doh - 2010-07-01 15:32
Mac mini 1.83GHz C2D/1GB RAM with Crystal HD BCM70012.
Mac OS X 10.6.4.
XBMC r31452.
CrystalHD lib/driver r115 compiled by me, when building kext I got 5 warnings, all about "flags" not being initialized in crystalhd_hw.c (and some others) but the build succeeded. --- UPDATE: Warnings disappear if "Development" config is chosen.
Tried playing "killa sampla" (bird scene from BBC) in XBMC and nothing is shown. Have also tried other MKV files, sometimes get audio but never video. Have to kill XBMC, can't end playback or quit.
After trying to play "killa sampla" I tried starting an AVI file (SD material) but nothing happened. Killed XBMC shortly after that.
See log info.
I have now removed r115 driver from the system and the same files play fine in XBMC r31452, albeit choppy without hardware acceleration.

homer_doh Wrote:Strange. I've cleaned all targets in Xcode and rebuilt both library and driver and verified that the only libcrystalhd.dylib on the machine is the one from r115. There's still "INFO: CrystalHD(old): device opened" in xbmc.log, see http://pastebin.com/jpM1si1P.
OK, I have tested "killa sampla" with driver 1.03 and XBMC r28256, there were some problems with dropped frames, but the video was shown.
This time I used Pioneer One episode 1. Same result, audio but no video. Seen it before without Crystal HD, no problems.
EDIT: This is repeatedly logged on the command line where XBMC was started:
COULD not find free MDATA
I am running ubuntu karmic and lib r115.
xbmc also says crystalhd(old)
100% sure i'm runnning the freshly comiled r115!

I've done some testing, here are log files and command line output:

Problems here with some, others are just great.
This is on linux on an aTV (aTV v1.1, pin87a's minimal Ubuntu 8.0.4 (co-existing with aTV OS), XBMC SVN31642, Crystal HD r137, Confluence).

First, let me say that I am very grateful to the volunteer developers that are trying to perfect CrystalHD on AppleTV.
When I try to play a 1080i video (Top Gear) over the network from my FreeNAS box using SMB, it plays a few seconds of audio (without showing the video) and then the screen goes blank, with the Apple logo appearing as though it were rebooting (but it seems to be locked up to an extent that only power cycling will help).
I trust there is sufficient information in the following logs, but if further info is required I can supply.

So, I'm an editor and this morning I figured I'd try out a 2k QT I got from the producers of a short film I might finish. This isn't usually part of my workflow but I wanted to give it a shot on my ChrystalHD ATV.
It's 2k at 1:2, but low bit-rate and encoded with QT 7. The picture didn't display correctly, there was a large green bar on the left side and the whole image flickered. I don't know how take a screen shot on my ATV or I would have. When I tried the software decoder it rendered correctly but unsurprisingly at about 12fps.

Transcoding the only way? - JeanLuc7 - 2010-07-21 14:14
Have read different threads for about 8 hours until now. I just bought a Crystal HD foe my Mac mini early 2006 (upgraded with an 2.16 GHz CPU and a BluRay Drive). I experienced that using the Crystal HD creates massive frame drops with VC1 and AP@L3 but works flawless with others. After reading all those threads I understand this is a problem of either the container used (mine is MKV) or the Codec used (which is this VC1). So my only help is to transcode the problematic films to h.264/mp4, right?
Tested VC1 movies were "Inside man" and "where Eagles dare".
