Hi guys,
Can anyone confirm with something like gpuz, that when xbmc is used to play an external file and is minimized automatically out of true fullscreen mode, that it uses significant amounts of gpu power.
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/9941
No responses to ticket yet but when I minimize xbmc manually even, out of true fullscreen mode, gpuz shows the gpu usage graph going up and down from 15%~ to 80%~ gpu usage. I don't think xbmc should use any cpu or gpu power when its minimized out of its true fullscreen mode. Its increasing my htpc temperatures causing louder fan speeds, so this is the primary reason i would love to see a developer be interested in looking into it.
