I am running r28256 on an AppleTV, with Crystal HD driver r26, and was running something a couple weeks older until today with the same issue. I have the Crystal HD card selected in my system - video - playback - render method, but 1080p content doesn't play correctly. It fires up the audio, but the video never starts. It just stays on the menu screens. When I look through the logs, the Crystal HD appears to be working properly:
17:30:03 T:50595328 M: 13717504 INFO: Trying Broadcom Crystal HD Decoder...
17:30:03 T:50595328 M: 13574144 DEBUG: CrystalHD: codec opened
17:30:03 T:50595328 M: 13574144 INFO: DVDVideoCodecCrystalHD: Opened Broadcom Crystal HD Codec

17:30:03 T:51647488 M: 12886016 DEBUG: CrystalHD: Output Thread Started...
When I select another render method, it plays the video too, but it's very choppy.
Any idea why I'm getting no video?
Thanks!

It sound like you are playing a VC-1 encoded file which is not supported yet. But we'll know for sure as soon as you post more info. :-)

Hmmm... I haven't found a VC-1 encoded file that can play with the Broadcom yet. They all have the same described error. I know XBMC itself supports it, but the broadcom drivers weren't doing them yet. Anyone decoding VC-1 files successfully with the broadcom?

VC1 in a m2ts works, this is native bluray. VC1 in other containers gets messy as the correct bit-stream conversion needs to be done and this has not been addressed yet.
