First let me start with a really MASSIVE THANKS! to the Xbmc team for this magnificent MediaCentre program.
My cpu is doing the same thing. I thought it was sorted with a tip from another post on here, disabling Flipping in nvidia-settings. But that lead to very choppy video playback, so I re-enabled flipping & discovered that "Always Enable" V Blank sync within Xbmc brought the cpu usage down considerably.
But now since the latest update even that has no affect. I refuse to disable Flipping because of the problems it causes with video playback. I've tried many other variations of settings between Xbmc & nvidia-settings, nothing works. So what to do?
Apart from the high Cpu usage, there is no problem with performance, everything else seems to be running smoothly. But the Cpu running at 100% (sitting idle on the menu screen) couldn't be good.
I really love using Xbmc. It'd be great if we finally got this sorted.
