I did upgrade to r27451. I can't see anymore option for Crystal HD decoding.

I did install of Crystal HD driver through Launcher script from Andy204. With r27394 driver was working.

I tried the script again with reboot but no success.

This is part of XBMC log.

Any hint?

[andy204]

can you show me the content of your /etc/rc.local file?

Code:

cat /etc/rc.local

did you update xbmc and then tested crystal hd? or did you update xbmc, then installed crystalhd again with my updater?

would be nice if you could give a more detailed explaination.

thanks!

Code returned this: No such file or directory

I started with fresh install of ATV few days ago. First with installation of XBMC and with your script. As I said 27394 ha a option in settings for Crystal HD.
Yesterday I did upgrade to 27436 and Crystal disappeared. I was waiting for today's build if this was the case just of one SVN.
With 27451 is the same.
Then I upgrade with your script again and restart.

1) please look if there is a file called /etc/rc.local.orig (if yes then please show me the content)

2) so you did upgrade and after upgrade there was no crystalhd option? you did not run my script again?

3) did you use my script or the launcher installer?

thanks for the information

did you restart your atv after doing the update?
always restart...

+1 for the restart!

Plus, when the ATV's been on for a while, the CrystalHD card craps out due to a memory leak. It's a known issue and a reboot sorts it out. You can check by issuing:

Code:

sudo dmesg

and at the bottom of the output, you get something like:

Code:

pci_alloc_consistent:IOBufferMemoryDescriptor::inT askWithOptions failed
*ERR*:/Users/davilla/Documents/crystalhd-for-osx/trunk/crystalhd/driver/darwin/crystalhd_hw.c:2061: Insufficient Memory For RX
Deleting IOQs
Releasing RX Pkt pool

then you're suffering from the leak. Reboot, my friend.

As it stated in my first post, i did the restart after driver's installation.

Jimmer please see message from sudo dmesg:

I do not see anything about Crystal HD memory leak.

Looks to me like the kext is not loading from your /etc/rc.local

You said that you recently restored your ATV? Probably want to re-run Turbo's Kext Enabler from the Nito menu, this will allow the kext to be loaded from rc.local - you'll need to edit your rc.local to put in an entry for the crystalHD:

Code:

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

Then you can test it without rebooting with:

Code:

sudo sh /etc/rc.local

if it works without error messages then reboot and run

Code:

sudo dmesg

and the final few lines will report success with the CrystalHD! Of course this is assuming you have lib, firmware and kext in the right places with the right permissions. See install instructions at:
