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-crystalhd-ffmpeg/ 



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.



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?

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.
