Hi,
I am using TVH 4.2 with LE 8.1.1 and Kodi 17.4 on RPi-3.
Works well, picking up TV and radio stations.
I have noticed that with radio, but not TV, the processor overheats and the 'thermometer' appears on the screen. When I look at system information, I see that one of the cores is always close to 100%, giving an average CPU load of 25%. For TV, CPU load is very low.
This does not happen for any other audio streams.
It is not specific to LE 8.1.1 and Kodi 17.4, but also occurred with previous versions.
Is it possible that the audio stream is being software decoded, instead of hardware?
Is the problem in the stream that the TVH backend is sending, or its processing in Kodi?
Maybe there is a setting that could lower the CPU load for radio. Any suggestions?
Any help appreciated.
Jon
