I'm using RC1 and r174 and everything is hunky dory. be specific about what isn't playing for you.
- mbetter - 2010-11-21
RC1/r174 seems rock solid here, so far.
- yahooking - 2010-11-21
would be great if guys can use lucid base. hardy is old and there are a few things that dont play nice on hardy.
- PMKnecht - 2010-11-21
RC1 + R174 plays really nice. (On a movie that was dropping a lot of frames before i ony had 1000 dropped frames in 1 hour. Other movies play really good)
Though the "resume from last postition" feature does not work. Using it results in choppy playback and a lot of dropped frames. Starting from the beginning and seeking to the last position works just fine. So it's not a big issue.

Crystal HD support continues to be more or less unuseable for me. I use XBMC primarily as a Myth TV front end for HDTV recordings. Without turning on Crystal HD support, this works fairly well. 1080i programs are watchable but exhibit interlace artifacts. 720p programs are flawless. I should mention that I am using 720p component output.
Turning on Crystal HD seems to create more issues than it fixes. It eliminates the interlace artifacts on 1080i recordings. But, often, when beginning playback of a program, the audio starts playing for 30 secs or so before the video appears. When I exit playback (by hitting the menu button), it often takes an equally long time to return the previous menu screen. The frame rate of playback can drop to about 5 fps on occassion for a few seconds and then speed up to 100 fps or so until it resyncs with the audio. Finally, I've had the screen go black when starting playback and hang, requiing a reboot.
I'm surprised that I haven't read anything about anyone else having similar problems. Is anyone else using this as a myth front end?
- Sam.Nazarko - 2010-11-21
CrystalHD and interlacing aren't the greatest partner in the world. Davilla decided to use line-doubling for now, but I'm sure he'll make refinements in the future.
We don't use Lucid base because it messes up HDMI audio.
- iscraigh - 2010-11-21
I am running maverick on a revo with nvidia 2.53.*** drivers and HDMI audio works for me.
I use my atv as a mythtv frontend playing 720p HDPVR recordings and it is working not bad, although I do have the occasional audio sync issue. Without the crystal hd I can't play anything at a decent frame rate.

A "Revo" not an aTV

Just pointing out that I had to downgrade the drivers in order for things to work.

Trouble with RC1 CHD 174 - Audio Issues - jthunder - 2010-11-22
I have been following this thread for a while and I have the following problem.
ATV with PIN's image booted from 8GB USB stick (updated with RC1 and the 174 CHD drivers).
Loading a BlueRay RIP (1080p/24 m2ts) from SMB (over the 100mbs connection)
The file appears to load ok, CPU only at ~30%, and then about a minute or so in it gets choppy and drops to about ~14 frames/sec. I can seek forward and back and it gets better for a couple of seconds and then drops again.
Getting the following in the xbmc.log:

Just thought I'd say thanks to this thread! After a bit of poking about I have:
RC1, CHD r174 and Harmony (Plex mapping) fully working! Turns out ssh and command line isn't so bad :-P
One side question though, I'd like to set the static ip, I've changed interfaces in /etc/network and it saves and reads correctly, but I'm still getting an IP from the DHCP...any ideas?
EDIT: Also, leave VDPAU enabled even with CHD enabled too?

Hey Guys,
It looks that soon it will the about time for a new USB image for ATV to appear. Does any of you have any plans already? Will there be a new light image available after final XBMC comes out?
Can't get mythtv:// links in Videos to work - czyz - 2010-11-22
I apologize in advance if it seems I'm retreading an issue mentioned earlier in this thread, but the solution mentioned there has not solved my problem.
I have an HDHomeRun dual tuner attached to an OS X machine on my local network, which is running MythBackend. That machine's name is zachInspiron, and its local IP address is 10.0.1.198. I've configured mysql to accept incoming requests, and am able to successfully use MythFrontend both on that mac and on my laptop.
I added a line for the backend to /etc/hosts:
Code:
10.0.1.198 zachInspironAnd I then added the mythtv source to sources.xml:
Code:
<source>
<name>MythTV at zachInspiron</name>
<path pathversion="1">myth://mythtv:mythtv@zachInspiron</path>
</source>When I attempt to access mythtv from within xbmc, a "Remote Share; Could not connect to remote server." error appears on the screen, and the following messages are written to xbmc.log:
Code:
02:36:30 T:2910759824 M:159625216 ERROR: GetControl - unable to connect to server on zachInspiron:6543
02:36:30 T:3043338080 M:159625216 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting myth://mythtv:mythtv@zachInspiron/
02:36:30 T:3043338080 M:159625216 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(myth://mythtv:mythtv@zachInspiron/) failedI have also tried changing 'zachInspiron' in /etc/hosts to 'xbmc', with the thought that maybe xbmc's mythtv support expects the backend to be named mythtv. That didn't work. I've also tried putting the backend's IP address in sources.xml, as well as the backend's zeroconf name. No dice. My current sources.xml has all of the following listed:
Code:
<source>
<name>MythTV</name>
<path pathversion="1">myth://mythtv:mythtv@mythtv</path>
</source>
<source>
<name>MythTV at zachInspiron</name>
<path pathversion="1">myth://mythtv:mythtv@zachInspiron</path>
</source>
<source>
<name>MythTV at zachInspiron.local</name>
<path pathversion="1">myth://mythtv:[email protected]</path>
</source>
<source>
<name>MythTV at IP</name>
<path pathversion="1">myth://mythtv:[email protected]</path>
</source>These all produce the same errors in the log, save for the parts that refer to the computer's name.
I know the backend is functioning, as I can use it from the frontend on two computers. I just can't seem to convince xbmc to connect to the backend.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help or info.

belmore,
I have the same problems as you do with my CrystalHD BCM70015 card and HDTV mythtv recordings. The AppleTV has been less than ideal for me with XBMC because of this. I have a couple of Revo AR1600's that do a much better job.... but I didn't want to spend the money for another one. I am running Pin87a's image on the HD and r174 of crystalHD with RC1 of XBMC. I have tried both HDMI and component with similar results.
