- goran - 2010-08-01 Hi, Lots of dropped frames with the Sony HD camera captures. debug log: http://pastebin.com/kR6Dx2eD MediaInfo: Code: General System is MacMini 2,1 Windows 7, CrystalHD BCM70012. CHD drivers 3.5.0.0 from Broadcom site. - defiler - 2010-08-11 I've mentioned this in another thread, but this is probably the appropriate place to post it. I've got exactly the same issues as icedtrip (post #4 in this thread). Now, I've tried a direct BD-rip of District 9, and it shows these artefacts. I've snipped out a 1-minute segment of the movie (using mkvmerge, not recoding) and it's doing exactly the same thing. The mediainfo is below. Is it worth uploading this 1-minute clip somewhere? Would it be helpful for the developers? (It's ~160MB, but I'm having the same trouble with a few HD rips.) Cheers! Code: [root@shelob District 9 test]# mediainfo D9-1-minute.mkv - purgedreality - 2010-08-12 Yep, shoulda posted this in the first place... Sorry... xbmc.log Changed from 'Auto' to 'ARB'... resintalled newest libcrystal from googlecode same behaviour... - A600 - 2010-08-14 I can't get the crystalhd working on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, 2.6.32-24-generic x86_64). All videos I tried have the same problem: they play for a couple of seconds with the upper zone of the image showing a very nasty flickering, then only the audio is played and after another couple of seconds, XBMC hangs and I have to kill it.

Will check into it. I just installed a Ubuntu 32bit version and had the exact same problem. Anyway, I wanted to test if this sample dropped frames with linux like it does with Windows so, could you check it? Code: General Debug log - jag0 - 2010-08-22 I'm not sure if this is a CHD issue or XBMC issue, as I've just updated to the latest nightly build (xbmc-r33035-Dharma-x86.dmg ) and I'm using CHD driver 2.0 - crystalhd-for-osx-test1.zip. Basically I'm unable to watch anything. When i try to open a video sometimes i get audio for a few seconds (which is what happened in the log file I've included with this report) and sometimes it just freezes. Either wait I have to force quite XBMC. This happens with all the files I've tried since installing the latest driver and the latest nightly build. Hopefully you guys wil be able to assist me by pointing out something simple i did wrong XBMC Log MediaInfo - chenjhc - 2010-08-22 Hi all, I'm newbie to XBMC so bear with my ignorance I'm trying to get Broadcom BCM970015 working for playing back H.264 encoded HD video files on my netbook (M912M). So far I got no luck even with latest SVN r32894. I have searched throughout the forum for hours and couldn't find similar report or solution. So please see below for detailed description and guide me in how to this issue. Much appreciated. Tommy 1. "Latest" is NOT a revision, of ANYTHING! (See below) I got it 2. Windows Version + patch level Windows 7 with all important updates 3. CPU/Architecture (make/model and eg. 32 or 64 bit.) Atom N270 1.6Ghz, 32bit 4. RAM amount (1 GB, 512MB etc.) 2GB DDR2 5. Video Card and Driver version (Intel/Nvidia/etc. version 15.7.8) 1. Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset with OS installed driver version 8.15.10.1930 2. CrystalHD model BCM970015 with driver version 3.7.20.0 installed from Broadcom crystalhd_3.5.0 6. Sound Card and Driver version (Sound Blaster/Intel/etc. version 7.8) Builtin sound card with OS installed driver version 6.1.7600.16385 7. Other devices related to issue (tv, receiver, remote, etc - make/model) None 8. XBMC Revision (eg. 8.10 Atlantis or SVN 16733) xbmc-r32894-Dharma 9. Detailed Instructions to Reproduce the Problem (The more specific the better.) Launch XBMC, go to System -> Video -> Playback, check or make sure the radio box next to "Allow hardware acceleration (CrystalHD)" is checked. Back to main menu, from there go to Video -> <folder> and select the following file to play. I can see XBMC is loading the file and playing it but there is no actual picture and the screen is never refreshed; the sound can be heard for the first 10 seconds or so until I heard the repetition of the same tone similar to a CD player trying to get past a bad section on a badly scratched CD and after a few sounds of doing even the sound is stopped. I can go back to the main screen but exiting from there fails and it has to been killed using Windows 7 Task Manager. I tried some other H.264 based files and they all have the same issue with being played back properly. For comparison, when "Allow hardware acceleration (CrystalHD)" is unchecked, the picture and sound both worked but due to slowness of my system (Atom N270 Netbook), they are not smooth enough to be acceptable. I tried the same test on the same system but with XP SP3 installed but got the exact the same behavior. I can also verify that CrystalHD itself seems a good one since I can use TotalMedia 2 OEM downloaded from HP to playback the same files without any issue. 10.

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.

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"? - vajonam - 2010-09-13 davilla Wrote:Turn off VDPAU, the AppleTV can't do it. i am using top to track this will post when i have more info. the content i am playing is.

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 - Einkoro - 2010-09-15 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 - Einkoro - 2010-09-16 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. |
