da-anda I really appreciate the concern but it's not worth the effort, while browsing for similar issues the best that could be found was something like with 16.1 cpu usage was between 9-25%, with 17.x was 20-60%, after many testing and configuring Kodi 17.x came down to 20-50%. If the best one can get is way worst than with the previous version, it's just not worthy.

Memphiz I also get heavy cpu load on kodi.bin sometimes not using Kodi at all, just by having it running.

jjd-uk I'd really like that to be the truth, that the problem was to be my system... I'd also also like to believe that Kodi 17.x is excellent and very well maintained in Linux.
But come on, if things are like you say they are, please explain me how the following bugs exist.
First the mentioned "\" bug: is it possible that the devs use Kodi 17.x on Linux and no dev ever switched between fullscreen and windowed mode?
Second when I shade or iconify Kodi 17.x during video reproduction, after restoring the normal window the video reproduction freezes for some seconds. Is it possible that no dev ever done that also?
And look at this third one: if I suspend my laptop with Kodi executed, even if inactive, when I resume my system Kodi fonts and mouse cursor go blur and monochrome (I have no idea what the right terms are) and make every menu unreadable and the mouse and Kodi unusable. Here's a printscreen:
So does that mean that no dev ever closed the lid of the laptop while Kodi 17.x was running?
Notice that these bugs are known and talked about Kodi 17.x so it's not an exclusive problem of mine or related to my system.
I found these annoying bugs by using Kodi 17.x perhaps a couple of days, if I used it longer maybe this list would keep on going on and on.
Kodi 17.x, at least for Linux, came out bad. It's the truth. Is better to look at things the way they are then looking at things the way we'd like them to be, for what I realised Kodi 18 is a continuation of Kodi 17.x so maybe that should be changed and Kodi 18 should rather be an improved version of Kodi 16.1 and 17.x should be dropped.
This is the reason I use Kodi 16.1, because bugs like these do not exist and my cpu has perfectly normal usage. Of course I'd like to use the latest version 17.x, everyone loves to have the latest version of every software and gadget, but this one unfortunately I have to pass.
So please, I'm asking, please provide subtitles security fix for Kodi 16.X. Everyone would really appreciate this a lot.
Thank you all for your work and for your help.
