I have a similar issue. I did change to TV server with RC1 though. But now when TV is not in fullscreen the sound stutters and the picture tears, menus seem slower as well. Using the same codecs/settings as 0.2.3. I've changed back to 0.2.3 and everything is fine again. Perhaps it's the forced timeshifting with the TV Server version? Might try without TV Server but for now I'll be staying on the old version.

I uninstalled tv server/client and the problem persists. But when i play a video file and switch from fullscreen to when video is played in a small window bottom left the playback stutters. When switching back to fullscreen mode playback is smooth again. It seems things are slowed down when menus are visible.

Same issue here,
in my case it doesn´t seem to be as bad when watching Videos from the My Videos section. In My TV it is realy bad when i switch from Fullscreen-Tv to epg or home (generally when having tv in little window). I attached a screenshot where I marked the point when switching from fullscreen to epg. It appears for me to occur in Mediaportal @ Fullscreen and windowed mode. Switching back to 0.2.3.0 svn 18062 resolved it.

Just adding a "me too".

Mine is a fresh install for testing before I put it on the main HTPC. The menus do seem a little slower, but the biggest difference is when watching TV in a window and the menus are visible, everything stutters to a crawl and eventually stops. Fullscreen runs without a hitch. I've only tried it in TV, havent tried any videos or music yet.

The computer is the 2nd one in my signature below. It runs fine with 0.2.3...

    Please try the following fontEngine.dll. There has been lately some changes in it. Would be nice to know if those changes are causing the high CPU load on some systems.

    I've just moved up to RC1 and was experiencing this on my main client/server machine.

    That new fontEngine.dll seems to have cleared it up. I was getting about 55% CPU usage, (split over two cores) before, now down to about 35%.

    Ditto - that fontEngine.dll has brought cpu usage back down to repectable levels; 90% ---> 30%

    cheers!
