[QUOTE="pete.keys@virgin.net, post: 39542, member: 18473"] Question/bug: Why does MP use so much CPU. When I open it up and don't start anything - or say stop the TV - it sits there at 98%cpu. When I start doing something say start TV in the myTV window it runs at 80 % and when I run it in the full window (but not fullscreen) its 45%. In full window - if I open a window partially over the top or say the channel change window the cpu goes pack upto 85% In comparison if I use compro's own product the cpu rarely reaches 25% and in cyberlink powercinema it runs about 10%. I think the above explains why for me MP is clunky and often sluggish to respond to keystrokes .. especially when my system is flatlining at 100%. I have switched off all clever rendering/transparent overlays and animations - is there anything else i should be checking /doing to reduce the cpu load and therefore improve responsiveness and stop the "stutter" that often happens. thanks in advance - this product has better functionality than any other, I'd just love to get it performing adequately. cheers -Pete Area: Media Portal Program MediaPortal Version: 0.2.0.0 RC2 (2006-02-24) MediaPortal Skin: mce Windows Version: Windows XP (SP2) .NET CLR Version: 2.0.50727 DirectX Version: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c) Audio Codec: DScaler Audio Decoder Video Codec: DScaler Mpeg2 Video Decoder CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4 - 2.40GHz Memory: 1 GB Motherboard: IBM (IBM) TV Card Model: -Compro T200 TV Card Type: - DVB-T TV Card Driver: - 1.3.3.0 Video Card Model: Intel(r) 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv Graphics Controller (64 MB) Video Card Driver: - 6.14.10.3865 Video Card Resolution: 1024x768 Video Render Type: VMR9 Audio Card Model: SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio Audio Card Driver: -5.12.1.3624 Synopsis:: - [/QUOTE]
