All-
I would like to organize an effort to go over the logfile with the hope that we (the non-coders) can help the developers figure out why the X3100 is not working. Since the developers don't have a Macbook or Air with the X3100 GPU, then perhaps we can at least eliminate anything obvious that could be caught by comparing logs from a machine that works (mini with GMA 950 for example) and one that does not.
In order to accomplish this, I propose the following:
1) Download this bland publicly available video to your desktop (the quality is bad but the topic... ):
http://ia300236.us.archive.org/2/items/C..._256kb.mp4
2) Open XBMC in desktop resolution mode and immediately proceed to the video and begin to play.
3) Stop the video after ~15 seconds and exit XBMC
4) Post your logfile to http://www.pastebin.com
5) Upload a screenshot to imagehost.com (optional)
6) Post a reply to this thread with the following information
a) Mac setup (with GPU indicated)
b) XBMC for OSX version (e.g., 0.1.2)
c) Observations (e.g. plays fine / pink screen with ghost / pink only)
d) Link to the logfile at pastebin.com
It it my hope that by doing this and trying to standardize the video, version, and method, some of us X3100 users can compare logfiles with users who have a different GPU and can eliminate all the noise, highlighting only the differences. It is my hope that this will help the developers by saving them time looking through logs.
I'll post a follow-up to this thread to kick the process off... I hope someone who is lucky and has a working setup will help us out with this!
