Bah... I don't know why this always happens to me . I installed the same package as before (31021), play the same file that dropped frames on me every few seconds, and now all of a sudden it barely drops any! Anyway there are still framedrops, so here we go. Media info for the first test file Media info for the second test file Media info for the third test file Xbmc log file Xbmc log file for the third movie The initial dropped frames occur when the movie is loaded (which should be normal as I understood), the ones at 10:46 were caused by pulling up the OSD. The first test file ran pretty smoothly (it dropped as many frames as the second one though the past days). Playback of the second file starts at 10:53:57 more or less. First major dropped frames occur around 10:59:03, where I could see the card's buffer unfill dramatically. I checked CPU usage and that was fine at the time. Network traffic looked fine too (150 KBps upstream torrent traffic, router can handle that just fine), I also tried with rtorrent not running yesterday to make sure it wasn't interfering, frames were still being dropped at the same rate. Crystalhd kernel module and userspace library are both 1.0.3. I hope I'm not wasting your time, yesterday it was all choppy and dropped frames galore, and a lot of the time the CrystalHD buffer wouldn't even fill past 50%. Now it played fine for a while and the dropped frames don't occur as frequently, it's very bizarre. I also recall watching another 1080p movie with 30874 and that - apart from a few occasional hiccups - played fine, I didn't check for any dropped frames there with the overlay, thought it was the encode since I rewinded and it occured a second time at the same moment. If you want I can try that again and post the log too. - Tijntje - 2010-06-13 .:B:. Wrote:Okay . I'm having similar issues. Sometimes everything is working ok, a reboot later without touching the installation I'm having a lot of frame drops with the same movie. I'm on ubuntu karmic with 1.0.3 libs and switching between 28744 and svn trunk. I notice that the current SVN builds have less frame drops when you start a movie and on skipping, but they seem less stable overall. For example Shutter Island 1080p mediainfo plays almost fine @ 28744, unwatchable @ svn trunk. r28744log: http://pastebin.com/KbxWKtpF r31087log: http://pastebin.com/RgDeui21 - davilla - 2010-06-15 1080p [email protected] with 5 ref frames seems to be a common issue. - beytarj - 2010-06-18 mac mini 1.66, osx 10.6.4, xbmc r31168, crystal driver 1.0.3 all mkv files have freezes for few secondes every few minutes. there are no frame drops. the r28256 play these files good. xbmc log: http://pastebin.com/UEPcVEvm - beytarj - 2010-06-28 in ver xbmc-r31463 for osx, when i press seek, the picture is freeze but sound go on, in all mkv files. crystalhd ver 1.0.3. log: http://paste-it.net/public/l8b75f4/ No video at all - homer_doh - 2010-07-01 Mac mini 1.83GHz C2D/1GB RAM with Crystal HD BCM70012. Mac OS X 10.6.4. XBMC r31452. CrystalHD lib/driver r115 compiled by me, when building kext I got 5 warnings, all about "flags" not being initialized in crystalhd_hw.c (and some others) but the build succeeded. --- UPDATE: Warnings disappear if "Development" config is chosen. Tried playing "killa sampla" (bird scene from BBC) in XBMC and nothing is shown. Have also tried other MKV files, sometimes get audio but never video. Have to kill XBMC, can't end playback or quit. After trying to play "killa sampla" I tried starting an AVI file (SD material) but nothing happened. Killed XBMC shortly after that. See log info. I have now removed r115 driver from the system and the same files play fine in XBMC r31452, albeit choppy without hardware acceleration. - Tijntje - 2010-07-01 homer_doh Wrote:Strange. I've cleaned all targets in Xcode and rebuilt both library and driver and verified that the only libcrystalhd.dylib on the machine is the one from r115.

Code: General thanks! - ElectricMayhem - 2010-07-11 First, let me say that I am very grateful to the volunteer developers that are trying to perfect CrystalHD on AppleTV. When I try to play a 1080i video (Top Gear) over the network from my FreeNAS box using SMB, it plays a few seconds of audio (without showing the video) and then the screen goes blank, with the Apple logo appearing as though it were rebooting (but it seems to be locked up to an extent that only power cycling will help). I trust there is sufficient information in the following logs, but if further info is required I can supply.

This isn't usually part of my workflow but I wanted to give it a shot on my ChrystalHD ATV. It's 2k at 1:2, but low bit-rate and encoded with QT 7. The picture didn't display correctly, there was a large green bar on the left side and the whole image flickered. I don't know how take a screen shot on my ATV or I would have. When I tried the software decoder it rendered correctly but unsurprisingly at about 12fps. Code: Format : MPEG-4 http://pastebin.com/cHb7JAPz I can PM a link to a clip of the file if you'd like. - andy204 - 2010-07-19 opened another thread in the OSX / ATV subforum. but here it should be right all i did was starting an episode (mkv) Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/c31Ax0an backtrace: http://pastebin.com/0SvgWzBA Transcoding the only way? - JeanLuc7 - 2010-07-21 Have read different threads for about 8 hours until now. I just bought a Crystal HD foe my Mac mini early 2006 (upgraded with an 2.16 GHz CPU and a BluRay Drive). I experienced that using the Crystal HD creates massive frame drops with VC1 and AP@L3 but works flawless with others. After reading all those threads I understand this is a problem of either the container used (mine is MKV) or the Codec used (which is this VC1). So my only help is to transcode the problematic films to h.264/mp4, right? Tested VC1 movies were "Inside man" and "where Eagles dare". Logs for "Inside Man": XBMC Log Movie Info |
