It's been a while since I've been around, and I did something rash last night.. and updated to the latest SVN build from SSHCS; 30813 (now 30831).. Since then I've noticed two things;
1) Much higher CPU utilisation when CrystalHD rendering is being used (75-100% CPU in r30831 vs. 30-40% CPU in r27288) and
2) The first file plays using hardware acceleration from CrystalHD, but the second file I play fails to open the CrystalHD hardware and falls back to software.
Prior to this I was running SVN 27288 which was working flawlessly (I know.. why fix something that wasn't broken, Aaron...), and I'm still running the same CrystalHD drivers (1.0.3) without change.
It doesn't seem to matter what files I play, though I'll include a MediaInfo from the file shown in the example debug-enabled xbmc.log.
This is all on my Mac Mini (Intel GMA950 based, 2Ghz Core2Duo, and still running OSX 10.5.8).
So, pastebin of the bad behaviour in r30831: http://pastebin.com/ah9vKesG
Example pastebin of r27288 working fine (I quit r30831 and opened r27288 and while the later SVN could no longer open the CrystalHD card, the earlier SVN had no problems): http://pastebin.com/cxtF2zWT
(Ignore the database errors above - the new SVN has of course upgraded my videoDB.. d'oh)
MediaInfo for the file I was playing: http://pastebin.com/81hqc21L
Apologies if this is old news and/or I'm simply not meant to be using recent SVNs, I had a peruse of the older CrystalHD threads and all the threads I found people were still back at r27xxx which does make me wonder if I did do something silly last night :o
Having said that - the new skin looks gorgeous, and the new database looks great, too! Just a shame I can't actually, er.. play anything :o
