I've done the install and everything - but I'm not able to find the crystal card in the menu.
Could it be something I've done wrong during install - or does it sound like a bad crystal card?
Is there a way to check if the right drivers is in place?

corrected guide, now added mv crystalhd-for-osx-1.0.0/libcrystalhd.dylib /usr/lib/
as number 5 in step 7
this was an oversight on my part, guide should now be 100% correct.
launcher should show as the bottom XBMC r26613
Also added an initial step, which is something i had to do to get the new versions to show:
Initial STEP:
Go in to your apple tv and select downloads under launcher, select the launcher application, that will then uprade the launcher to the lastest version.
Guide now uptodate

My XBMC version now says r26558 - could that have a connection to not being able to find the crystal card in my settings?
Also - in step 4 when you mention the last 3 files should be copied over - do you mean into the tmp or the crystal dir?

Thanks for the guide. I am a bit confused about the copy and paste all line and press enter bit.
I’m assuming these are the “sections”
first :
touch /etc/rc.local
cp /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local.original
Second:
if [ `grep --count -G '^/sbin/turbo_\(atv\|kext\)_enabler.bin' /etc/rc.local` -eq 0 ]; then
if [ -f /sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin ]; then
echo “/sbin/turbo_atv_enabler.bin” > /tmp/rc.top
else
echo “/sbin/turbo_kext_enabler.bin” > /tmp/rc.top
fi
cat /tmp/rc.top /etc/rc.local.original > /etc/rc.local
rm -rf /tmp/rc.top
fi
Third:
if [ `grep --count -G '^/sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext' /etc/rc.local` -eq 0 ]; then
echo “/sbin/kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/BroadcomCrystalHD.kext” >> /etc/rc.local
fi
chown root:wheel /etc/rc.local
chmod 644 /etc/rc.local
exit
Is that right?

Hi,
I've followed the guide,have the card installed and I'm running the latest nightly build R26612, however when I go into render method I do not get the Crystal HD option.
All the files appear to be in the correct locations and I believe I have run all the necessary commands in putty.
When I look at the XBMC log I see this:
DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(libcrystalhd.dylib)
14:26:26 T:2684407808 M: 49684480 DEBUG: Loading: libcrystalhd.dylib
14:26:26 T:2684407808 M: 49676288 ERROR: CrystalHD: device open failed
14:26:26 T:2684407808 M: 49672192 INFO: CrystalHD: broadcom crystal hd not found
Any ideas where I could be going wrong?
Thanks

First check all files are in the right place
Second check if your kexts are loaded
sudo kextstat
And see if you find your crystalHD kext if not download rc.local to your computer edit the file and add the kext missing
then copy back the file into /etc making sure the permissions are correct
When everything is loaded you do see the option in XBMC
