I've had a few issues with both of the alphas and beta 1 running on MacBook Pro.
On DVD Menus I used to be able to use the return key to select DVD menu options. Now return brings up the XBMC on screen controller. I have to use fn+return or the dedicated enter key on a bluetooth keyboard to select menu options. Can I change something to get the old behavior back?
CPU utilization on the 9.11 alphas and beta 1 seems to be much higher than on 9.04. I'm seeing the following numbers during typical usage:
13% Listen to local MP3s with a blank screen
18% Play a TV recoding via myth://
22% Play a DVD from an ISO off my NAS
25% Listen to local MP3s with the track info displayed
30% Display most XBMC menus
50% Display my last.fm profile menu
50% Display a list of movies in a folder on my NAS
I'm concerned that displaying XBMC menus takes quite a bit more CPU than playing back a DVD over wireless. The skin selection doesn't seem to matter, as the numbers don't really change between Confluence and PM3.HD.
Are there settings I should look at, or are there files I should purge?
