After installing XBMC I almost immediately realized that a very old problem is still present (I already know it from my 2010 Mini): XBMC crashes when a 1080i H.264 file is played while hardware acceleration is turned on. You can hear the sound for a couple of seconds, but with no video. Then it crashes.

Here's the log:

Sorry, I don't want to be rude, but I can't really understand all the Eden hype if even such basic things do not work properly. Sorry but I'm a bit disappointed.

Until a few years ago we couldn't do any hardware decoding on Mac OS X because Apple wouldn't open up the API. Even now the API is still mostly closed. I believe (but I do not know for sure) that this is the problem with interlaced content being handled by hardware decoding.

There's only two options at this point: One is use a Broadcom Crystal HD chip inside the mini (replaces your internal wifi chip, so you'll need to get USB wifi if you want wifi). The other option is to kidnap an Apple employee/developer and force them to tell you the secrets of Apple's HW decoding APIs.

You can also just turn Hardware decoding off. The CPU will handle it just fine, and software decoding tends to have a little bit better quality (or so I'm told. I have not done any "scientific" tests personally). You do have a very powerful i5 in there, after all.
