Hi all,
I have a little problem with setting the cpufreq settings on my E6700 Core 2 Duo. By default, ubuntu sets it to "ondemand" mode to lower the clock when the cpu is idle. This is good enough for most of my videos. However, when I play 1080p videos, it gets quite choppy. If I change the cpufreq mode to "performance", then all the choppiness goes away and the videos are played at perfect 24fps.
My question is there a way to tell XBMC to switch cpufreq mode to performance when playing 1080p videos, and switch back "ondemand" for all videos at lower resolution ?
Thanks.
