I'm trying to understand how Shiki is incorporated into the new Whatevergreen kext.
After a lot of trial an error, I've learned that iTunes video DRM and Final Cut Pro don't play nice together.
I can get one or the other to work but not both at the same time. In other words, I can get purchased movies to play in iTunes OR... Final Cut X to play/render with good performance & no distortion but I can't achieve stable iTunes playback AND distortion free, fast performing Final Cut.
It seems that Shiki values are the issue. Changing them turns on or off hardware acceleration & iTunes DRM. It also affects the distortion/render problems in FCX. Here's some examples from my trials:
A value of shikiva=1 in the bootflag gets me iTunes + no hardware acceleration in FCX -- FCX is Sloooow to render everything
shikiva=12 -- hardware acceleration in FCX (much faster renders!) but iTunes constantly crashes
shikiva=28 -- hardware acceleration in FCX and iTunes works for a bit but still crashes
What I'd like to know is there a current reference guide to shiki in Whatevergreen? What do the values do? And what are your experiences? Has anyone else achieved stable iTunes DRM playback and working FCX?
Tried searching but the old shiki reference pages are gone.
