Hi all, I have a main frontend box running yaVDR 1.7.21 vdr and I have a version 1 AppleTV with a broadcom crystalhd module installed. I'm running Ubuntu and have loaded from source the crystalhd kernel module and the libraries.
I have xbmc-pvr branch from yaVDR running on the appletv and it works most of the time but cannot keep up with 1080 most of the time (can for 720p). Does anyone know if this branch has crystalhd support and how do I know if its using it?
Second, I would prefer to use vdr-xineliboutput and have installed vdr-sxfe and vdr-fbfe. I don't need, nor want all the overhead of xbmc. I'm thinking if I can one of these to work then it would be perfect - I could use the vdr OSD, etc. However, I can't find a video module that will work properly.
vdr-sxfe shows me: Available video drivers: vdpau aadxr3 dxr3 xv vaapi raw opengl xshm caca aa none xxmc sdl vidixfb vidix fb xvmc Available audio drivers: pulseaudio alsa oss jack none file
I understand to 'use' crystalhd you have to invoke the vaapi video driver? Is this correct? When I try it, however, it says libva: libva version 0.31.1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
How can I get around this or is it possible with my setup? Anyone got this going?
Thanks for any help.

Hello
I got a BCM70015 card working with vdr-xineliboutput by using the crystalhd plugin for xine here :
http://crystalhd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/crystalhd/branches/xine-plugin-c...
The install procedure is thoroughly explained in the README.
Keep in mind you should compile it towards xine-lib 1.2, which is out since a few days.
It works reliably with h.264 dvb-t streams on my D945GSEJT motherboard with not more than 30% CPU usage. The media player also works, even if it gets somewhat unresponsive when you try to fast forward or rewind some HD files.
I don't know if the vaapi driver for crystalhd is usable too.

What does interlaced material look like? I'd assume you could use tvtime output plugins to do deinterlacing, although it would increase cpu usage?

For the moment, my new vdr box is not in real operation, I should first build a vga2scart to connect it to my old CRT TV set. I will use frame rate control as described here : http://frc.easy-vdr.de/ (Anyway I know that the visual improvement between SD and HD content will be very tiny on a CRT display.)
I see no image flaws on my PC monitor, though not using any deinterlacing filters. Only MPEG-2 material from SD channels, which seem to be decoded by software, not by the chip, look interlaced.

I tried this install - got it all installed, and its being called up by vdr-sxfe but I'm not getting anything on the screen! I hear audio but no video? Any suggestions what might be going on here? I see the error failed to open broadcom Crystal HD but then further down it seems to be utilizing it?
