I need help
Can someone tell me how to connect through ssh to update xbmc? I put sam's image on a USB hard drive but I can not manage to connect it.

thank you all


download a ssh client (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)

host address : your apple tv address
port : 22 (connection type SSH)

username : xbmc
pass : xbmc

if you need "su" the password is...... "xbmc" Smile

that's the way I connect through ssh on pin78's image


good luck
diego

I am having similar problem. Running Pin's image (ATV Linux, r28256, crystalhd v26) I was able to play a 720p (High@5.1 Profile) video perfectly. I I just upgraded to SVN 33324 and crystalhd r156 and playing the same video results in severe stuttering. Other HD content plays fine. Problem video details below::

Video
ID : 0
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L5.1
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames : 2 frames
Codec ID : H264
Duration : 4mn 14s
Bit rate : 3 789 Kbps
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 720 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 30.000 fps
Resolution : 8 bits
Colorimetry : 4:2:0
Scan type : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.137
Stream size : 115 MiB (92%)


Other than that crystalhd is awesome! Do you need any additional information to help diagnose?

Some High@L5.1 will not play correctly. The bcm70012 does not officially support L5.1 but my tests show that some will play ok, some will not. The bcm70015 is much better at handling High@L5.1.

you have two options that appear now? me that I enabled hardware vdpau but Crystal HD does not appear.
You think the drivers would have uninstalled by the update? because everything stutters now.

yes there are 2 options, vdpau and crystalhd.

if you do not have the crystalhd button, then it sounds like you need to update your crystalhd drivers.

vdpau showing up under the AppleTV platform is a quirk, don't set it. It does nothing as the GPU on the AppleTV is incapable of vdpau.
