Kodi from Debian 17.1
Inte NUC 8GB Ram,Celeron j3455

No problem watching video, but when browsing folders with videos (estuary skin) the cpu usage goes to 50-70%. Cpu usage is just 5-10% when watching videos.

The problem (again) happens when in the menu I go to: Videos->Files->MyFolder->Videos where Videos is a folder with other folders and videos.

If I disable miniatures generation the problem continues.
If I disable miniatures generation and then remove all thumbnails in the disk, the the problem disappears BUT even doing that whenever I move from a video to the next one, without selecting the video, just pressing down arrow in the keyboard, there is a cpu peak.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help

Which CPU frequency is the J3455 running when you navigate? A percentage without knowing the frequency is not worth btw.

On Debian 17.1 -> This is not supported here. It's broken patched with unsupported 3rd party libraries, including audio patches that break flushing, build from source or use the ubuntu ppa.

Thanks a lot for your help. I have build 17.6 from sources with the same results.

CPU is capable of running at 800-2300GHz and when the problem happens it goes to 1.6. speed of the CPU is 1.5GHz

As soon as I go back to the previous menu (main menu) cpu usage goes to 2-6% and CPU frequency to 800Ghz

In addition I have discovered that if I'm browsing the folder, the cpu load goes crazy when I stop in a file name long and the name starts to "roll"

Could someone check that out?

Thanks a lot again

You could start out with providing a Debug Log that captures that event. There may be a clue in the log.

1. Enable Debugging mode. Go to Settings>System Settings>Logging and it should be the first option
   
2. Restart Kodi
   
3. Replicate the problem.
   
4. Upload the log to https://paste.ubuntu.com/ manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. With either method post the link back here.
   

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs

I would test with v18. v17 issues won't get fixed anymore.
