Ok I will post a small sample later today.
If I use software decoding The macro-blocking artifacts do not appear but the playback freezes occasionally (I could say it is almost viewable)
here is the sample file

I am seeing this issue when a "freshly" booted xbmc has much greater success of playing 1080p videos than a xbmc that has been running for sometime.
Please have a look at the logs around 23:40:xx i've tried playing the video twice. then rebooted and played the same video and seems to have played fine. http://pastebin.com/xMWKTiuz I am running Dharma Beta 1, CrystalHD 3.6.0 tag from git. BCM970015 decoder, Linux 8.04. Essentially following Davilla's wiki on how to install xbmc for linux. The attached log is the following reboot, when i tried to run a Top Gear Polar special episode at 1080p. http://pastebin.com/VMk7Kyu7 this video starts audio, then displays a frame or two before getting stuck. clicking stop on my remote stops it after about 2-3 minutes. I am also on a 100Mb wired connection. Also if you need samples what is best way to get you say the 1st 10 minutes? just "dd"?

The only file that doesn't play after a fresh reboot is the following Code: GeneralShould I expect my BCM970015 to play this on my appletv? It works on my ION w/ VDPAU enabled okay using 9.11 Camelot. I can PM you the link to test file if you need. Thanks |

Video is playing as if CrystalHD isn't being used to decode the video on my AppleTV since updating from CrystalHD 2.0.1 and a nightly build to 3.6.0 and Beta 2. With debugging enabled I see 90-100% cpu usage and major frame drop on 480p h264/ac3 mkv which used to play just fine with low CPU usage.
I checked to make sure the kext is being loaded and the log seems to indicate the CrystalHD card is being initialized at startup. http://janpingel.com/misc/files/xbmc.log |

davilla Wrote:I'm sorry. I just don't believe it. sample please. One minute sample with very noticeable frame drop: http://janpingel.com/misc/files/sample-002.mkv The decoding performance is just like when I disabled CrystalHD as I did tests of what the AppleTV and CrystalHD could handle before I ripped and encoded my entire library starting back in January. Aside from the delay at the start of playing videos and the odd buffering hiccup these played great with CrystalHD previously. I wish I could remember the revision of XBMC I was using. At the very least I could switch back to it to watch my media. Things were good until I updated Aug 31st but sadly I didn't mention what rev I was running.

davilla,
i just finally managed to get build over on to my appletv of the tip of the Dharma branch. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10177 is fixed and that video plays back now. thanks for that. I still see a large delay on the startup of the next 1080p. What is delay i should expect after i click on start to when i see the picture? I have 1080p sample that will take close to 1-2 minutes to start playing correctly, is this expected? 720p plays flawlessly. I am uploading this video now will send you a PM when its done. also i have annotated the following logs with times where i I am not sure what xbmc is doing? this is reading files off a nfs share. Dharma smb seems very flaky on hardy! Code: 21:26:27 T:2839260048 M: 56999936 DEBUG: Open - av_find_stream_info finished

curlyjs Wrote:Not sure if related, but I've seen a difference in start time if you use the library vs file manager. File manager open quickly vs library could take 4-5min in my case. Only happened to me with bbc rips. I can give it a test from FM to see what the spin up time time is there. EDIT: here is the log as launching from the File manager. same for me. Code: 09:03:37 T:2771385232 M: 76599296 DEBUG: thread start, auto delete: 0

davilla Wrote:what crystalhd card ? xbmc.log ? Sorry for the bit in delay. CrystalHD Model#: BCM970015 XBMC Log: http://pastebin.com/reC1JSeb When i start playing the file the audio comes through just fine but no picture. the xbmc hud is up too. once i click or press esc to hide the hud everything starts freezing up. if i drag the mouse around the screen i see a bunch of mouse cursors that don't get refreshed. again this happens when playing VC-1 or MPEG2 content using the crystalhd decoder. Thanks! hope this info helps. |
