[WINDOWS] Broadcom Crystal HD integration support in XBMC for Windows?
#31
I doubt that this will work. So no occurrence of this library in system32 or WINSXS?
You could do me a favor and look for environment vars and if anything is in the registry which we can use.

No.

Found this and I think it should work:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Broadcom\MediaPC\CrystalHD]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Archivos de programa\\Broadcom\\Broadcom CrystalHD Decoder\\"

so the dll can be found at:
Code:
"C:\\Archivos de programa\\Broadcom\\Broadcom CrystalHD Decoder\\bcmDIL.dll"
?

Could you please try a rev >=26284 and see if it makes any differences?

Hi,

you have to load the bcmDIL.dll from the Braodcom installation path.
I own a Broadcom BCM70012 and tried to run the dx version on Win7 and Vista, it craches on Opening the bcmDIL.dll from special path. Did not tried the GL version yet. But it works on DX, ok a bad black/white output.

Since i really was not able to find the bug, i wrote a little test application, which will detect the installation path, open the driver gets the status and version then it closes it.

On the attachment you'll find the test application and a screenshot.

Use the Setup from Broadcom Crystal Setup to install the new device driver fo your BCM70012/15. Then start the Test Application.

In XBMC, we need to add a registry detection.
#define REG_PATH "Software\\Broadcom\\MediaPC" // HKLM
#define REG_PRODUCT "CrystalHD" // "70010" for older setups
#define BRC_DLL "bcmDIL.dll"

RegGetValue -> REG_PATH\\REG_PRODUCT\\"InstallPath"+\\BRC_DLL

Cheers, GeminiServer

Hi! Anyone able to tell me whether CrystalHD correctly decodes VC-1 interlaced material? Such as the m2ts files found on Life (BBC documentary series) and Torchwood BluRays.

@Geminiserver: davilla told that broadcomp needs load the firmware and ofc we would like to make it easy for the user.
Unfortunately the broadcomp driver won't install if it doesn't find a card. I've ordered one but this will take some time. Feel free to rewrite it to use the path stored in the registry Wink

I can also confirm that it works in a Revo 1600 with the Broadcom card in the empty mini PCIe slot. H.264 in mkv container works very well, both 720p and 1080p. This is under Windows 7, GL build 26307.
