i'm using eden 11.0 and this is my playercorefactory.xml

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
   <player name="PotPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>C:\Programmi\XBMC\PotPlayer\PotPlayerMini.exe</filename>
     <args>"{1}"</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
   <rule filetypes="avi|mkv|mp4|mpg|ts|ifo" filename="*.*" player="PotPlayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

during playback xbmc increases the memory usage and after 40 min this is a screenshots of my taskmanager

253mb memory usage 545mb virtual memory usage



when i close the external player everything turn back to normal




if i use internal player it's all fine with a normale memory usage


Why Does It Happen?

You can try to replace "<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>" with this "<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>".......if you need more info on external player, you can check my signature for more detail......

I solved the problem and I think that I found a small bug

I am using the skin clonfluence

I had set in

system - skin - brackground customizer

multi image for videos, movies and TV shows with this folder

userdata \ Thumbnails \ Video \ Fanart

to solve the problem I set video's background back to default

I do not know why but I did various tests, and this is definitely the problem

maybe there is some problem with mediatype videos swap image that remain active during playback with an external player

Good to know......if your HTPC is not very powerful, using <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>" will help solve stutter playback.....
