Hi all,
I have an Atom 330 dual-core 1.6Ghz mobo. It came with a minipcie slot for the wireless card (which is pretty useless in Ubuntu 10.10).
As an experiment I put a Broadcom CrystalHD card in the minipcie slot to see if video performance would be better than the embedded nvidia chipset. To my surprise the Broadcom chip performed slightly better. I played back my movies in XBMC and 1080p/720p was slightly smoother and slightly sharper than the nvidia chip.
So far so good right?
Well once I tuned into tvheadend from xbmc, all the channels would not use the chd-h264 driver but instead use the ff-h264 driver causing a lot of jitter.
When I switch back to the ndvpau driver, I see the tvheadend channels properly use the ndvpau-264 drivers.
Is crystalhd not supported in tvheadend? Are there any plans for support?
