[AppleTV] Compiling crystalhd-for-osx Lib/Kext

davilla Wrote:XCode, macports (10.4SDK), crystalhd headers (intel build). buildbot (is in macports), there's some trivial setup and a launchd plist.

The initial svn checkout takes the longest, once that is done, it's cached and builds are pulled from it following an svn update. The dmg upload is next. Impact is pretty minimal, I'm on a 3Mb DSL line and am handling both i386 and ppc builds, don't notice it except when I'm using the MacMini for active development. A firewall does not matter, slaves contact the master.

is there any instructions to setup it? I've buildbot installed and ready to help.

so uhm yeah, I feel like a retard...

My rc.local had the turbo kext, but of course my sbin was missing it.

now I'm getting the bcm crystalhd rendrer and cpu is down to 30-50%, so it seems to be detected and working...

but still get alot of stuttering and even a local kill bill vol1 m2ts won't play more than a few fps


@ bobby, the rc.local file is supposed to take care of loading on reboot

(or so I thought), but actually it doesn't seem to be doing that.

edit more duhhhhh, rc.local had turbo kext instead of turbo atv
now that I fixed my rc.local, it loads the turbo atv and crystalhd kext correctly on boot.

And the following instructions :-

I followed the instructions from herod98's post and eventually got everything working. CrystalHD shows up as a rendering option and works great (thanks Davilla!). I'm now able to decode HD with the Apple TV.

Going forward, do I need to update the crystalhd lib / kext manually or will Launcher 3.x be updated to download both XBMC and crystal HD necessary files?

ffmpeg demuxer does not like something about this m2ts video file.

well its a straight rip from the bluray disk, I will start checking some others.

I had dark knight work once awhile back, but it hasnt since.

How do you determine the cpu load ? - Thanks in advance !

Is there another way to determine whether the card works ?
