Hi davilla, sorry for slow reply. Was working.

My xbmc.log. http://pastebin.com/tYY4wLhm

It was 38MB, so i trimmed out the following chunk of code which was just repeating and repeating.

Code:

My XBMC is r33035. CrystalHD driver is 2.0.1.

Thanks a lot.

Oh. With r33004, i managed to play the 1080p file quite smoothly. But the version before that, I cannot play the video at all. And r33035, I also can't play the 1080p video, it either freezes the ATV, or the movie is extremely choppy. But most of the time it freezes.

I just installed the 3.6.0 drivers, and updated xbmc to 33040. Will try to play the same video now and see what happens.

When testing, keep good notes and do things in a repeatable manner. Also all video containers do NOT contain the same video format. So if you Launch XBMC, play a video, then play a different video and 2nd one has problems, what's different between 1st video and 2nd video.

If one does things in a random manner, it's impossible to figure out what is going on.

Yep, fully agree. I'm using the same 1080p video file for all the tests. The Iron Man 2 trailer.

Would like to report that r33040 and driver 3.6.0 is now working great. The start of the video is a bit jittery as the video is trying to catch up to the audio, the rest of the show is smooth. But I only have the one short 1080p content, need to find a full length 1080p video. I also tested a 720p MKV file, and plays smooth as well.

Thanks a lot davilla. Also, check paypal. Smile

Hello,

i tested two files, the testfile from the download area of crystalhd-for-osx and a full lengh video. Both are not playing.

my question: is there a testfile around which could be used as reference?

http://pastebin.com/pXDF5eLQ is top during playback mem usage is usually the same playback or not but cpu usage on xbmc drops 30-40% during playback.

hey guys thanks a lot for this project, 1080p xbmc has been a dream for quite a while.

anyways i recently got a 70015 card and got everything up and running. 720p content seems to be running perfectly, however i have yet to get 1080p running smoothly, although it seems to be pretty close. it seems that when i try to play files over the network, it is smoother than off the local filesystem, but neither is perfect.

here is the output that seems to be requested here when the lagging is at its worst:

xbmc r33079

top -> you cut off the upper part.

xbmc.log -> you cut xbmc.log

Hi davilla, just wanted to update you.

My problem is intermittent. One time the 1080p file plays fine, and another time XBMC crashes and freezes ATV. 720p file is OK throughout.

XBMC version 33040 (i'm updating to 33078 now)

I'll admit here in the beginning that I'm a noob at stretching my comfort level.

I followed the instructions at the beginning of this post and thought i was doing well. I was questioning the quality of the Crystal HD card and did some checking. It seems that I don't have the drivers installed and the download under the launcher is no longer working. I tried following other links to driver installation but many of them are dead ends. Now I'm more confused than ever as to how to update the drivers. where should I start?

Thank you in advance
