[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 539409, member: 48495"] Here is a small plugin, which I created for my own HTPC. It's the result of an idea which I had yesterday ;) [U][B]warning:[/B][/U] [B][COLOR="Red"]changing process priorities can cause crashes, slow down your system and maybe other bad things. this is an experimental plugin, use it at your own risk...[/COLOR][/B] [B][U]What it is intended for?[/U][/B] It modifies the Process Priority of user selected processes, so that they either run in "Idle", "Normal" or "Realtime" priority. I needed this feature, because on HTPC's there are often programs that causing high CPU load, leading to stuttering TV a.s.o. Typical candidates are: [LIST] [*]AntiVirus scanne, [*]AntiVirus Updaters, [*]some windows services [*]maybe even MySQL service [*]... [/LIST] [B][U]How does it work?[/U][/B] The plugin runs every 2 min, looks for processes you have defined and set the Priority of them. Simple ;) In the tv.log you can find: [CODE] 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Executing Process Priority Manager 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: avgchsva, ID: 4656 from Priority Normal to Idle 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: avgcsrvx, ID: 5336 from Priority Normal to Idle 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: avgtray, ID: 4572 from Priority Normal to Idle 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: avgcsrva, ID: 780 from Priority Normal to Idle 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: mysqld, ID: 1220 from Priority Normal to Idle 2009-11-25 18:49:45.537633 [ProcessPrioritySetter]: Set Process: MPTail, ID: 3124 from Priority Normal to Idle [/CODE] Log entries are only created when the priority is changed, otherwise it's silent. [B][U]How to install and configure?[/U][/B] [LIST=1] [*]copy the .dll to TvServer\Plugins folder [*]enter SetupTv, enable plugin [*]choose your processes for idle, normal, realtime [*]you can modify the settings, they are applied when leaving the config section [/LIST] Maybe someone else find it useful.
