My apologies.

xbmc log:

this is quite lengthy. this includes numerous videos being played. the last 3 or 4 are the AVC1 files that chug.

720P MKV slows down on playback - first couple minutes everything is smooth, then things bog down:

Movie was played twice.

I'm still onyl see the XBMC Version 9.11 in the Launcher 3.2.2.

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/Info.asp

did not helped anyway.

Could it be that this is temporarly offline? seems that the nighty builds are not available at this moment ..

Can someone help?

Why don't you use the official buildbots nightly?

defaults write com.teamxbmc.xbmclauncher XBMCAdditionalDownloadPlistURLs -array-add http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/update_urls.plist

try the official mirrors (see above comment for what you need to do) and reboot your atv...

Thought I would post here since it's on topic regarding the CrystalHD chip.

So following the guide on Here I am having the issue of my rc.local file adding in periods on the front and back of the kext. The rc.local reads:

./sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin.
./sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext.

I had tried this several times before finding out the problem. Finally i took the text in step 7 and paste it to wordpad. Edited out the " used in the syntax, and got it to write successfully on the next attempt. But because of that, my rc.local now reads:

/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin
./sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin.
./sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin.
./sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext.
./sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext.
/sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext


I am using WinSCP to log onto the ATV to run the commands. There is an "Edit" option when right clicking the file on the ATV, but it doesn't allow me to edit it giving me a "permission denied" error. I also tried copying rc.local to my local drive, editing it locally, then copying it back to /etc but again, it gives me permission errors. Oddly enough though I can copy it to other folders like /tmp and Front_Row.

Following the guide, it seems that using " in the step 7 cut and paste is what seems to give people issues, i just can't seem to correct the file. I don't know if this in turn doesn't allow me to download the nightly builds as the option doesn't show under my downloads; as well it doesn't show me the CrystalHD option as a renderer.

Any suggestions?

You don't need the period in front when the path is from root of the filesystem Also the period at the end is also wrong. Remove them.

/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin


WinSCP does not have permission to edit something in "/etc". That directory is owned by "root" and you can't login as "root".

FYI, another log with slowdown: http://pastebin.com/m581a0312

Can you give some ideas on how to edit the file and insert it back into /etc ?
