[QUOTE="meq123, post: 470294, member: 66505"] Wow! Thanks for the quick response! I just tried the new version - unfortunately it made the CPU usage worse (ooops!). With this version CPU hovers between 6 and 8% - went back to the old version and the usage went back down to 2-4% :S Changing the poll rate doesn't seem to affect the CPU either. I tried the default 1sec, also 5secs, and even 1/2 a sec. Cpu util stayed about the same in each case. It does depend on the event type though... for the "Power on" event (this is a single box system) CPU is 0%. But for *single* MediaPortal events (e.g. recording or timeshifting) its the 6-8% figure. What's worse though, is that with multiple events the CPU rises even more. The snapshot below is with the latest version, polling set at 5 secs and three MP events: Grabbing EPG, Timeshift & Recording (I know these are all on one LED for example purposes, but it's the same if they are spread across three LEDs). As you can see the LEDcontroller CPU util is over 30%!! But also note that the TVServer is now also hovering in the 10-12% range as well! Thus nearly 50% CPU usage with *nothing* else going on - not even MP client is started. And this is on a Core2 Duo CPU. I think something else is going on here - it can't possibly need that much CPU to do three polls every 5 secs. Sorry to harp on, this is a VERY useful tool! Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
