Anyway I can test?
Is davilla aware that this might fix it on the atv2/ios branch?

This prototype of a fix is quite outdated. At the time I did this I discussed with davilla. cHD needs information currently not provided by pvr. This patch uses ffmpeg parser to get required data out of raw stream.
I have almost forgotten this patch and I think davilla does not have it in mind either.

Is there any update on this? I am running the latest Openelec beta on my appletv. Using mythtv BE .25 and the myth PVR plugin on appletv - HD channels bring it to its knees. It is not using the cHD card.

Any update on this? Seems like the HD mpeg2 streams are also too much for it to handle with out the CHD card. I can record the HD stream and then play it back as it uses the CHD but no live TV.
Only problem with play back is the CHD has about 5 seconds of sound before the video is displayed

can you provide a debug log of this situation where chd won't work. i thought fernetmenta's changes would have fixed this issue, and it works for other hw decoders

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

The situation is as per the thread.
A live TV stream is not decoded by the CrystalHD card, but if I record the stream and then play it back the CrystalHD decodes the video. My old install of Openelec has been wiped and I'm in the process of installing it again, however I seem to have the old issue of the video freezing for about 20 seconds when I start playing the video, audio is playing and eventually video catches up. A separate issue which I want to get fixed first before sorting the PVR issue, so don't want to get off topic

Since TVHeadend 3.4 Clients can now request normalised timestamps (will also ensure stream begins on I-frame). Would this bring the needed functionality to feed the CHD Card with the stream?
Thanks for any Information.
