cyrstalHD with debian
Hi all,
Its been 2 days since I have tried to compile every flavor of mplayer
(mplayer, mplayer2 with stock ffmpeg and the ffmpeg download from the
ffmpeg site) but none of them are compiling cleanly. It is as-though
mplayer is not being maintained for crystalHD
Coming back to the default debian installation with custom kernel
(3.5.3) I end up in a situation that mplayer jitters for HD video
(1080p) although windows runs fine and smooth video using the
crystalHD decoder.
I downloaded the drivers from Broadcom site and compiled them for my
system. I get this in the dmesg when the driver is loaded.

Despite this the stock mplayer has issues from what I can see in the
below command output.

Has anyone got HD video smoothly running on a Atom N550 based system
which has a crystalHD decoder in it ? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanking in advance.
