[QUOTE="Elf, post: 58620, member: 13103"] OK, getting somewhere now (at least in diagnosis, sadly not solution!).. ..my system is certainly overheating - the ambient temperature in the case rises constantly and all components are pretty much affected. It seems to be related to the fact that the CPU is running very high, which I find interesting. If TV is playing it jumps around between 70-80% (all attributed to mediaportal.exe) although I expected my graphics card (Geforce 6200) to do most of the work there? This happens whether timeshifting is enabled or not. Also, if I start up Mediaportal without TV enabled, it runs at 5-7% but once I've enabled TV it rockets up, and stays there, even if I then disable TV again. Finally, apparently randomly, while TV is running, it eventually jumps to 100% usage and stays there. Is there perhaps something I'm not doing to enable hardware decode in my card? (I'm using nVidia Purevideo decoder and have activated the dxva option and applied the various registry entries to enable DXVA in the card..) Or does anyone know if this is a known problem and will the latest SVN help? (Haven't had a chance to try that yet). <edit> For info MediaPortal Version: 0.2RC4 MediaPortal Skin: MCE Windows Version: Windows XP (SP2) .NET CLR Version: 2.0.50727 DirectX Version: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c) Audio Codec: nVidia Decoder Video Codec: nVidia Decoder CPU Type: Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz Memory: 512 MB Motherboard: AOpen somthing-or-other (Intel 865 chipset) TV Card Model: VBox DVB-T TV Card Type: DVB TV Card Driver: Latest Vbox Video Card Model: Geforce 6200 Video Card Driver: Latest Forceware Video Card Resolution: 720x576 Video Render Type: VMR9 Audio Card Model: Onboard Audio Card Driver: unknown </edit> [/QUOTE]
