HTSP HD acceleration
#1
Hi,

I've been using XBMC for years now and just today I installed XBMC to a new Apple TV 2, running 4.3.1
XBMC is Eden.

I have an tvheadend installation which I access via htsp://
Everything works as expected and SD channels are played back normally.
But HD channels (1080i or 720p, H264) seem to be non-accelerated.

Is this some sort of HW limitation I have to live with?


Thanks
Markus

I think I remember this is a hardware issue - I seem to remember a couple issues with these types of streams. One was a 60 fps issue, and there was another one that was a problem with interlacing (I'm less sure of this one).
This is where I read about the 60fps issue:

Not sure if it applies to tvheadend, but in order to play HD on the ATV2, it needs to be H.264 and 30fps.
