uncertainty Wrote:Just upgraded to rev 28917 on Win7 and I'm showing a high cpu load for any type of material including xvid. This occurs using either dsplayer or dvdplayer and its about a 50% jump on my cpu compared to previous releases. I did read others recommended to disable "Allow Programs On This System To Control XBMC" under Network but that had no effect. Before I start posting logs can anyone else confirm high cpu usage with 28917 no matter the media type or player?

thanks

i've noticed high loads on 28916 off the main trunk so it's probably a problem there. if you check taskmanager you'll notice you have high loads outside of playing videos as well. for me, this generally happens after browsing around the movie or tv library.

Yep agree fully and wanted others to confirm....Definately not a dsplayer issue and hopefully future trunks correct it soon.

Edit: Others confirm the main trunk 28916 is the cause and NOT dsplayer.

argh..think I'm gonna go back to what I had running before.
Sure are a lot of issues with these latest (not dsplayer) svn builds

Wasn't that why the xbmc team requested that devs stop using them until after the merge. If so why should anyone (not getting at you in particular christoofar - just re-read my response and it seemed that way) be surprised when things go wrong with the trunk that affects the dsplayer branch. As far as I know this is only place where you can obtain a current svn without compiling yourself.

Why complain when we know that these builds are likely to be borked anyway, if the xbmc team don't deem them to be stable enough to release.

Perhaps then development for dsplayer should stop also?

I assumed Seb & tiben wanted people to use them . This build was listed as "working with XP", so that is why I gave it a try.

I'm sure they do. I just found/find it strange that development continues with a branch of coding which is so obviously affected by the trunk, but that's Tiben and Sebs perogative, there was a request not to produce any svn's until after the merge not a ban and they have decided that the dev work on the branch is obviously worth the hassle of an unstable trunk application.

Am installing 28016 that the Real Joe recommended, & then will just wait till the main development starts up again and they can get the new bugs worked out .

BTW thats ironic because the reason I tried to upgrade to a newer rev was that milkdrop does not work in 28016...Big Grin

They are still working on their DSPlayer option because the work they are doing show not be effected (much) by all the other things the devs are working on. So I see no reason to wait until the devs are done with the main trunk to continue work with the.

I know I am guilty of this bringing up the high cpu and large log usage but we really shouldnt be bringing up any issues outside of the DSPlayer itself. It should be pretty obvious by now that it is the main branch that is causing the issue.

could not agree more beside is this not the risk we take "living life on the knife edge" with these types of builds!?
if you dont like the risks or the crappy out come of a couple builds dont download and test these builds
go and download the stable one from here http://xbmc.org/download/ its not hard Wink

Then perhaps there should be a pre-set group of beta testers to work with Seb & tiben off line.
Lots of people come here (like myself) & see this:

Change log:
  • 28/03/2010 - Build 28917 :

    * fixed playback on Windows XP
    * Merged from trunk to r28891
    * 03/23/2010 - Build 28772 :
    o Scrappers & vizu are back

    And then it really doesn't work , wether it is dsplayer related or not.
    Either way, it doesn't work...:p

LOL we are the beta testers. Thats why things are SVN. The only way you can't complain is if you are running a stable build of XBMC...period. Any SVN of any program is just that, a subversion made for testing until it goes alpha, beta, release candidate etc. If you are ever worried about breaking things then you should never run an SVN on your main machine. I have 3 XBMC pcs here. One I care about and is months behind because I dont want to ruin it. One in a bedroom whcih is kinda ruinable and I run XBMC here on my desktop so it can be ruined and I dont care. I always install a build on the work machine before moving it to a machine I care about. Peope in here should do the same.

due to the amount of hardware variations from user to user what may have worked for seb and tiben may not infact work for you

The vmr9 is back to the 28016 version. It was from far away the best version of it Big Grin
