Tried that too multiple times. reseating the card did nothing to solve the issue.

At last, compiled, installed and working!

lol, very good. what fixed it ?

[i5Js]

I don't know, I've compiled on my iMac (same snow leopard, same build, same mac-ports bla bla bla) and worked

Time to test!!!!!!

Davilla, a few posts back I stated that I updated my drivers/lib for crystalhd to the crystalhd-for-osx svn and still keep getting the following error after a power cycle on my appletv.

Would you think I just got a flaky card since it came from ebay?
I was thinking about getting another from Logic Supply to see if it solved the issue. Do you think I have any more options? I don't know what else to try.

Possible a flaky card It's failing in downloading the firmware, driver get's a timeout (TO). If there was a problem with the on-board dram, the firmware download would fail.

@matthoffman where did you pull that log from? and which osx or linux?

@davilla I suspect a similar problem with my card, is there any way to troubleshoot it from the commandline in either linux or osx?

In crystalhd_hw.c in the routine crystalhd_do_fw_cmd

change:

Code:

/* Write the command address to mailbox */
bc_dec_reg_wr(hw->adp, Hst2CpuMbx1, TS_Host2CpuSnd);
msleep_interruptible(50);

crystalhd_wait_on_event(&fw_cmd_event, hw->fwcmd_evt_sts, 20000, rc, 0);

The log was pulled on linux from /var/log/kern.log

[raydevos]

A mac fan of my colleagues compiles it for me (Thanks Eric!).
It worked immediately and perfectly. Much better than the linux version with leaked drivers I had from cck197.

I've been through my NOK HD files and half of them are now working :-)

Once again, thanks Scott!

My 1080p mkv Videos are heavily stuttering, seems better with 720p.

I've followed the instruction here:

with the only difference that I've used crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.1.zip instead 1.0.0

Right now I'm playing Earth mkv at 1080p and seems that the movie automatically pauses itself every second. :confused2:

Unfortunately, everyone in this thread seems to be having the same problem except Davilla.

I'm not agree, If you see the screenshot from Davilla on xbmc.org, you can see, a lot of drops too. I think he has the same problem, like us.
