I replied, saying that if it will not work, it's either faulty or fraudulent and not as described in the ebay listing, since any standard card should work the Apple TV.

tuckbodi Wrote:Hmmm, in 28256 I can see my card and select it, but in svn28937 (and others this past week or so) it no longer appears as a selection in the Playback/Render Method. Is this an indication of a bad card (ebay) or maybe how I'm building my SVN's (followed readme.osx on the svn download)?

ATV 3.0.2
Launcher 3.2.4
XBMC 28256 & 28937
Broadcom Installer r26

svn 28256
xbmc.log: http://pastebin.com/dqYViBcJ
dmesg & kextstat: http://pastebin.com/wDaJs02V

svn 28937
xbmc.log: http://pastebin.com/7ugNtPGQ
dmesg & kextstat: http://pastebin.com/HGNYt49r

MediaInfo on test movie: http://pastebin.com/gNTMvAsP

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install XBMC to Applications folder (28256 from Launcher and 28937 from build and then copy to mounted ATV Applications folder)
2) Install CrystalHD Driver r26 from Launcher
3) Reboot ATV
4) Launch XBMC and go to System/Video/Playback/Render Method
5) 28256 I can select Broadcom BUT on 28937 I do not see it

As always, a big thanks to the dev's and their hard work!

Aha, excellent news...my card lives to another day! Guess I'll keep an eye on trac. Just wanted to play with the dds and mysql stuff so I went for it. Thx for the heads up.

untg99 Wrote:Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for the great work on this, I've just installed my Broadcom HD card into the ATV and it either is not recognising it or failing at some other point, I have:


bash-2.05b# kextstat | grep crystalhd
65 0 0x2fcfb000 0xb000 0xa000 com.broadcom.crystalhd.driver (0.9.26) <5 4 3 2>

But:
bash-2.05b# dmesg | grep -i crystal

Displays nothing?

I followed the instructions to install the latest SVN(r28923) and drivers(r26).

The relevant XBMC lines seem to be:


bash-2.05b# grep -i crystal /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/xbmc.log

So it appears as though the ATV isn't loading the drivers either because it cannot see the card or possibly it's a dud card?
I'm using ATV version 3.0.2.

Any help or another log file I should be looking at would be greatly appreciated.

da-bitsch Wrote:Hi there. I installed the svn and the driver and i could not configure xbmc to render through the crystal hd. I then looked at the above approach and tried writing the same commands. I get the same errors. I am pretty new to the unix way of doing it! but does the above line tells me that the card is for sure broken or is there another way of testing for that?

davilla Wrote:don't do "bash-2.05b# dmesg | grep -i crystal" it won't show what you would be looking for.

dmesg and then look at the output.
