Snow Leopard and Hardware Acceleration on XBMC?
#1
I know the hardware Accel horse has definitely been beaten to death but with the event of Snow Leopard I was just wondering if the built in Hardware Accel features of Snow Leopard (OpenCL) opened new doors for using it in XBMC at all or at least made it easier? Just curious....

No exposed APIs to take advantage of built in hardware acceleration. Can't add what's not available even if Apple's bundled apps use it. File a feature request to Apple and ask for the quicktime hardware acceleration API to be exposed so non-Apple developers can also access it.
