Hi,
This is what I've notice:
Using 'Horizonz' skin, CPU load averages 40%
Using 'Mayhem III' skin, CPU load averages 20%
Both in idle mode (not playing/streaming anything)
Playing an AVI file when Horizons is the default skin, CPU bossts to a huge 85% and the AVU video is sluggish and way behind the audio. Mayhem III no problems.....
Weird??
**Update 1** nope..... XBMC draw almost 100% CPU power with all skins when playing an video file..... I wonder why?
**Update 2** Even more weird, video files play fine now, in both skins..... CPU at 27% when playing video file
**Update 3** CPU load appears to be random..
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE
168 XBMC 49.6% 1:37.44 7 176 391 33.6M 43.1M 56.0M 254M
XBMC completely idle....
and after restart of XBMC:
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE
177 XBMC 38.8% 0:22.32 7 135 342 19.8M 37.4M 38.2M 223M
Again, completely idle... ( http://pastebin.com/m2000c90 )
Rebooted ATV and started XBMC with Horizonz skin: http://pastebin.com/m3115cf99
Same 'just booted and started XBMC' state and changed skin to Mayhem III: http://pastebin.com/m1bda658e
And now playing a AVI file: http://pastebin.com/m1b075c27
**Update 4**
Rebooted ATV
Start up XBMC running MayhemIII skin and idle at main menu: http://pastebin.com/m6a3ef56
Playing AVI file: http://pastebin.com/m35407b62
Go figure.... ;-)
**Update 5**
I give up for now. Just rebooted ATV (MayhemIII), started XBMC and wanted to watch Ocean's eleven (AVI, no HD). 95% processor load, sooooooooo sluggish......
Weird, while the movie played, I restarted it from the beginning. Now CPU load is back to av 30+%...
After another reboot (power down) every video file I watch sucks 90+% CPU .....
TIA
ps. B2, ATV2.2
