RSS Ticker Slows Down after 5 minutes (1 Viewer)

[Eeyore]

Hi, I am using the current StreamedMP on MP 1.0.1 and have a very small problem

When the RSS ticker starts, the speed is quite normal

But after about 5 minutes, the RSS ticker slows to a crawl.

If I press any key on the remote or keyboard, then the speed returns to normal. The screen saver is set to 3 hours, it's a Pentium D processor, without step speed, so that isn't an issue.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Probably a bug in MediaPortal not respecting the 3 Hour (10800secs) setting you defined.

Try test with 100secs and 600secs, does it still kick in at 5mins?

maybe it has to do with this:

MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - MP goes green!

Therefore the often neglected screensaver (mostly used by Plasma owners to prevent Burn-In) got a new option: instead of blanking the screen completely MP can just reduce it's rendering speed down to 5 FPS.

Does the redering speed also goes down when you use the screensaver?

Like:
reducing rendering speed would still give an image --> reduces energy.
using screensaver blanks screen & reduces rendering speed --> reduces even more energy.
