CrystalHD issues with WMV/VC-1 Files - Trexx - 2010-09-19 01:39

I am very new to the AppleTV & CrystalHD scene so bear with me.

Any files that are WMV Files (WMV Pro/VC-1) 720p or 1080p only give audio when played, but no video.

AppleTV 3.02
XBMC svn r33778
CrystalHD version r156

well. i see the chd-h264 in the Video OSD. i will attach a log file

It's width not height that determines the choice.

that is what i thought, with the "throwing of the atv users a bone" :-)

I'll be moving some threads, this topic is for reporting a crystalhd problem, not discussion.

- vajonam - 2010-09-21 05:34

davilla,

while playing an mkv got this freeze, its about 1h43m into the video of a 1080p how do i get the video over to you?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14162/xbmc.freeze.1080p.7z

is it a problem due to a corrupt mkv? this also plays okay on my VDPAU box.

thanks

- vajonam - 2010-09-24 01:23

after recompiling the crystalhd drivers to use 8 DMA buffers, the test.mkv that I have PM-ed you plays audio in 2X

should be easy to re-pro

here is the debug log

- sgangwisch - 2010-09-24 13:36

I am having trouble playing all VC-1 codecs in XBMC using the Broadcom Crystal HD decoder. All of my movies are 1080p bluray rips in an MKV container.

- LOG: http://pastebin.com/3PSAyWXx

I can watch H.264 encoded blurays just fine the issue only occurs with the VC-1 codec. I can play the VC-1 encoded movies through VLC player just fine but CPU usage is at 100+%. XBMC also plays the VC-1 encoded movies fine without Hardware acceleration turned on.

I have a MacMini 1.83GHz, 4GB ram (3GB addressable), Broadcom Crystal HD 70012 I believe. Using 3.6.0 drivers and running Dharma Beta 2. OS 10.6.4

Update
Looks like this might be an issue with the MKV container and VC-1 codec. I have muxed it into an m2ts container (using tsMuxer) it the VC-1 encoded files are performing just fine now.
