Ah, if I meant to say r27436 I would have said that. See http://trac.xbmc.org/timeline , look for r27446. That's the commit list. Nighties get build each night and they build whatever svn version when they build.

I finally got my Crystal HD card, installed it, and everything seems to be working as best it can.

For me, it seems that .avi files play fine, but every .mkv file I try plays, and then starts skipping like it's trying to catch up. By jumping forward and then back seems to fix it for another 5-10 minutes, but basically, it is unwatchable.

Currently, I check all the posts daily and still using the software method for rendering. I sure am looking forward to when this all works as I'm sure everyone is.

Eh? "still using the software method for rendering", don't use software, use ARB or CrystalHD if you have the card installed. Software Rendering is dog slow.

Update with the latest nightly. The avi's now play, i.e. the video plays, but there is at least a 1 second audio sync issue. The audio is about 1 second faster than the video. This is now with all videos I have when played with the Broadcom card (avi, m4v) etc.

Yeah I have noticed this as well.. the last couple of nightlies have serious audio synch issues -- even on SD content..

Like they say one step forward, two steps back... It's only a matter of time I'm sure..

Unless someone breaks something, tonight's nightly build should have much better audio sync. Check the sticky.

In the latest build (r27482) I get a crash with the latest Naruto episode. It goes out of xbmc only shows the apple, and just stays there until I do a reboot. This is the link to the video.

this is the log: http://pastebin.com/m4213a997
this is the crash report: http://pastebin.com/m5232746e

I hope I did this right.

Hi all do I have the same issue? Basically although its loaing and starting well it all falls to rats after a few minutes with the video stuttering up.

Its either that or the network is not getting data over fast enough but its exactly the same set up for my mini and that runs flawlessly. (but i seem to recall ATV not having gigabit?)
