Since, Beta3 I have been noticing that HD playback on chd-* has been very choppy. with frequent framedrops.
I am using the r161 build of the crystalhd lib/driver, as this had the 8M buffers that work well w/ appletv's low mem.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14162/xbmc.old.log
The log doesn't really have anything that I can see that points to the framedrops.
This exists in B3 and B4 as well. B2 works fine.
Ubuntu 8.04
CrystalHD BCM - 15 card
cyrstalhd-for-osx r161 drivers/lib
xbmc beta 3 and 4
I'm having the same issues. But in OSX. both beta3 and 4..

can you also attach any logs, do your logs show any framedrops
also i found going back to Beta2 is ideal for the Appletv/linux for now.

How do you do such a downgrade?
rolandb5 Wrote:How do you do such a downgrade?
if you haven't done a purge of your apt cache you should still have some packages in the /var/cache/apt/archives
Code:
#cd var/cache/apt/archives
#sudo dpkg -i xbmc-bin_2%3a10.00~svn33778-hardy1_i386.deb xbmc-data_2%3a10.00~svn33778-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-skin-confluence_2%3a10.00~svn33778-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-standalone_2%3a10.00~svn33778-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-live_2%3a10.00~svn33778-hardy1_all.deb
should get you back
Also you might have to delete you addons.db for which the format seems to have changed since Beta2.

I used the above to downgrade back to 33778. Can anyone please remind me how to make my aptitude updates work again? I want to try dharma.
At the moment I get :
Code:
xbmc@AppleTV:~$ sudo apt-get remove xbmc-data
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:10.00~svn35326-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-skin-confluence (= 2:10.00~svn35326-hardy1) but 2:10.00~svn33778-hardy1 is to be installed
xbmc-skin-confluence: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:10.00~svn33778-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
xbmc-standalone: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:10.00~svn33778-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

sorry for the late reply
I would suggest you remove all the xbmc-* packages, and they try that command again. I guess by now you should be able to update to the latest?

No problem at all. To my shame, I cannot remember what I did to resolve the issue! But it is resolved.
Thanks anyway - better late than never!
