High CPU usage only on 1 channel KODI 17.0
#1
When trying Krypton 17.0 using Mediaportal, 1 channel out of many causes CPU usage to spike to 90% on both cores of my dual core processor.
This causes stuttering and pixilating on this 1 channel.
All other channels are around 25 to 30% usage, with no problem.
Turning off deinterlace helps but does not fix it.
Fails the same on X86 or RPI2. Libreelec or Windows 10.


This is not apparent on Jarvis version and works fine.
Is there a setting I can change that might help with this?

This is new to me. The addon has not changed between Jarvis and Krypton, so it must be related to the rewritten VideoPlayer core or an upgrade of the used ffmpeg library.
Could you post a Kodi debug log of a normal channel play and the 100% CPU channel play?

I have been having issues playing live tv and recording with krypton too. Link to issue with debug log. Only way I have found to fix it is by turning off hardware decoding. Seems to be issues with videoplayer rewrite. Also what has happened to rtsp? Does it need to be compiled with live555 or something? Don't understand that part.

The errors in your log snippets are all related to ffmpeg and the new video player. It is not something I can fix in the addon.
You are using the addon in ffmpeg mode (means that you are playing RTSP streams). Try the TSReader mode instead.
My experience with ffmpeg's RTSP playback is not really positive.

Using LibreELEC. When TSreader set in config. I get message when trying to start playback "Cannot access C:\ProgramData\ Team Mediaportal\......"

Found symptom appears on channels with 1080 playback only.

Also, don't get stuttering on 1080 movie playback, if that helps.
