Hi Community,
When using kodi 18.1 stable to stream live tv from an libreelec backend (details here), the GPU GF GTX 1080 on my main system with kodi runs really, really hot.
I have a screenshot that demonstrates the problem have a look here over 70% on the GPU and ~20% CPU.
TVheadend client/server is on version 4.1.7-44, Tvh-addon v9.0.118 (HTSP v27)
The GPU driver version does not influence the problem, even after updates uninstall/reinstall there is no change of the situation.
I've also uninstalled Kodi and started from scratch (I deleted all Kodi related data from my userprofile/program directory)
Also that didn't resolve the problem.
More:
When I move the cursor around within a Kodi window (system menu) main PC also utilization is spiking up to 39% see here https://pasteboard.co/I9JvjOH.png
When I playback a movie, no matter what codec, system utilization spikes up to over 70% too see here https://pasteboard.co/I9Jx193.png
So I am really wondering what could cause that sort of issues, and the only suspicion I'd have that somehow there's a problem with the rendering.
Not sure if that's a Direct-x issue or if there's some other GPU offloading is causing that particular issue but it's quite annoying as it
1) feels sluggish. 2) consumes a lot of power and 3) spins the GPU fans and let's the entire system run way to warm for watching a movie.
OK if that thing becomes hot when gaming or rendering a 3d scene but some wimpy media playback or rendering a Kodi window ?
There must be something wrong, please help !
