Hi,
First of all, thanks to all who have worked on this. Much appreciated.
Anyways, I'm having a problem using pin87a's image.
My setup:
40" 1080P TV connected to my Apple TV via HDMI. The TV can't handle DTS, but I don't have a DTS receiver, so I'm forced to downmix it to AC3/Stereo.
The Apple TV is a 40 G, with the BCM970015 CrystalHD in it.
Here's what I did:
1) Upgraded to a stock Apple TV OS 3.0.2 (factory restore is 2.0), and then went into Frontrow, and changed the resolution to 1080P (went fine).
2) Created a USB drive with pin87a's image (on page 1), using USBIT.
3) Inserted USB drive into the Apple TV and rebooted. XBMC was running (just the older version). I quit XBMC, which got me the ubuntu login screen on my TV.
4) SSH'd into the Apple TV, and manually ran deltazulu's script (from page 67 - I typed in the commands, since I understood what it was doing) to update to the latest XBMC (syn 33078).
5) Used Sam's method to update to the latest CrystalHD, except I changed the syn checkout to use r156. Compiled and installed fine. Rebooted the Apple TV.
6) SSH'd into the Apple TV, and saw that it saw the CrystalHD and had installed fine.
7) Uploaded the test_video.264 from the Google Code crystalhd-for-osx to the Apple TV, and I renamed it to test_video.mkv. The file is in ~xbmc directory.
8) Went into System - System - Audio output. Changed the Audio output to HDMI, Speaker Configuration to 2.0, Enabled Boost volume level on downmix, enabled Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver, and disabled DTS capable receiver (all other audio settings were left alone).
9) Went into System - Video - Playback. Disabled Adjust display refresh rate to match video (all other Playback settings were left alone).
8) Added the ~xbmc directory as a source for Videos.
9) Tried to play the test_video.mkv
At this point, I get a "Working" in the lower right corner, but other than that, I don't see anything. After about 10 mins or so, I see the video advance a few frames, but that's about it. Everything seems to have hung, and it advances a few more frames, but for the most part, doesn't play the test_video.

Could someone point out if I missed something?
Thanks!
