yeah, wrote you a pm

davilla Wrote:@guibaa, @nmrs. can either of you build the driver ? I'd like to turn off power handling and see if you still have problems with R172.

thanks

thx andy204 for churning this. guibaa and nmrs, make sure you are setup to use the R172 driver/lib before replacing the driver as driver/lib are pared.

thanks for the info. i forgot to mentions this. in the driver.tar.gz is just the driver kext. so you need to install the r172 via launcher first.

if it doesnt work and you install r156 via launcher again, you will have a working version again.

HEHE, not done yet This just points me in the right direction. I have another change but I need to test it first before letting it out.

EDIT: R174 with power handling for osx turned off.

Tonight I ran the r172 update and lost the CrystalHD option in settings. Everything in XBMC was chugging, even the RSS feeds scrolling along the bottom of the screen.

CrystalHD has nothing to do with "RSS feeds scrolling along the bottom of the screen". Also you are running beta2 and your log shows;

As the other guys have said, the whole system is slow as soon as XBMC iis launched, the RSS scroll is just a sympton. And yes, Beta 2 as I specified in my original post.

I also managed to launch XBMC, play an SD file (badly) then quit back out to the aTV Finder before crashing the system.

Which means crystalhd open failed and you are using ffmpeg software decode. I want to see the output of dmesg after XBMC launches.

I will reload r172 (if the launcher script still allows) and try to get you dmesg output. Last night my wife was eager to watch some new shows so I didn't have time to stuff around. We almost need a 2nd aTV to use as a test machine before rolling out changes to the lounge room.

released CrystalHD r174 (20101027)

changed: "disabled power handling"

Anyone care to explain what this means? What exactly is the feature being disabled? I'm just curious.

I was looking for someone to explain what "power handling" is and what it does. It's just a curiosity.

suspend / resume

Ah, thanks.
