[QUOTE="nikigraus, post: 577096, member: 28426"] The way Squeezebox works is the following. There is a server software (Squeezeserver), a software player (Squeezeplay) and a hardware controller. The hardware controller controls the Squeezeplay (over LAN). This means, Mediaportal is always running at full screen, even when I play music (you don't need to see the TV screen as you have hardware controller). The problem is, the Squeezeplay process is always running, no matter whether you play music or not... So I can't use the "preventing processes" stuff :-( There is no additional process as soon as you play music. I fear the only way will be if I can also monitor the "local" network traffic (internal traffic between Squeezeserver and Squeeplay). But I will have to figure out if that's possible. You're right that detecting CPU load is also difficult. If it would be possible to monitor the CPU load of a specific process, maybe that would be a solution? [/QUOTE]
