crystalhd bcm970015 and 1080p

I compiled crystal-hd drivers from git, and VLC 2.1.0 with it, and it works pretty well, except that on 1080p I have this problem with all videos:
The video does run perfectly smooth, but every couple of seconds, like maybe 5 to 10 there will be a "lag spike" occuring. :/
The hardware is a core duo 1.7 ghz notebook, which should be fine afaik.
The videos I've been watching have been loaded from the internal hard disk drive, not over network.
Solved it already, turns out just increasing disk and/or file cache by a factor 10 got rid of the lags.

How did you get your crystalhd card to work with VLC?
I'm running Linux Mint 11 and have VLC 2.1.0 installed - which supposedly has Crystalhd support.
I have the crystalhd 970012 card and the drivers installed.
How do i tell vlc to use the card? And how can i tell whether vlc is using it or not?
Thanks

Never tried with a 00012. vlc --list | grep crystal should tell you that it runs.
vlc --codec crystalhd to make it run.

I get the following:
Code: Select all
carl@mini ~ $ vlc --list | grep crystal
VLC media player 2.0.0 Twoflower (revision 2.0.0-0-g421a4fc)
carl@mini ~ $
I also get:
[0x9df68a0] avcodec decoder error: Decoder `crystalhd' not found
when trying to run with --codec crystalhd

Means you do not have cystalhd compiled in.

Well of course. Debian abd Ubuntu are never going to include plugins that depend on some crappy proprietary SDK.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to compile VLC 2.x.x with crystalhd support?

Add the SDK and --enable-crystalhd at configure time.

Compile VLC for Linux/Unix like normal except for what JB just said...
