MyMusic is working here, but CPU usage is rediculously high though - toching 99% and really spiky.

Yes, it plays OK for me, but the CPU usage is weird. Have a look at this:-

Each horizontal line in the CPU usage graph is 10%.

The first 3/4 of the CPU Usage History shows what is hapenning while playing a track, with just the "Now Playing" screen visible. The only "motion" on that screen is the elapsed time and the progress bar.....notice the regular pattern in the usage, where it varies from about 50% to 100%.

The dip at the 3/4 point (column 14) is when it changed to the next track.

And the last section (last 3 columns of graph - 2% CPU) is where I minimised MediaPortal to the system tray.

So, it looks like there is something in the skin graphics animation that is causing the spikey 50% to 100% CPU usage.....

Hi, thkogel

Has this changed with the CVS 03-29-2006--01-04?
If not please add your logs, It's working very well on my computer now.
