Hi
I've just started using XBMC and have read through the forums here and done a few searches, but having recently put a Crystal HD 70015 into an Apple Tv1 which has the latest Firecore software and XBMC 11 I've been experiencing terrible playback with 1080p files.
In the XBMC settings I can see the option to use the Crystal HD and I've selected it.
With 1080p H264 files, either stored internally on the ATV1 or streamed from my NAS, which is on a 1ghz switch, the playback is terrible- really stuttery and unwatchable.
I'm considering going down the Openelec or Crystalbuntu road, but wanted to ask if :
- I should be getting decent playback with the card installed but without openelec or Crystalbuntu
- If the card isn't properly installed in the ATV1, would I still get the option to select Crystal HD in the XBMC settings?
Tomorrow I'll try and find the log file and upload it here, but based on how playback is right now I think it's possible that the card isn't seated correctly ( I didn't put it in, my brother in law did as he's more tech savvie than me)
Also, am I right in thinking that I should have 1080p selected for video output in the Apple TV settings?
Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help / advise!
Regards
Herbie
