FFmpeg now multi-threaded in trunk:

Not exactly a hardware post - but keen to see what benefits this can offer for XBMC - even with GPU decoding, interesting to see that if splitting the workload over multiple CPU cores might help smooth out the XBMC interface while video playback is in progress.... assuming this release will hit XBMC sometime in the future (maybe?).

Why not give it a try .... compile xbmc with external ffmpeg Smile

What's your current cpu usage during playback and idle ?

My Shuttle XS35 is a dream - 12-15%, only time it does slightly stutter is going in/out of menus while video is playing - it's totally no problem at all, but curious to see if a multi-threaded video playback lib could even squeeze more out of multi-core Atom processors....

The major benefit is that lower clocked quad cores can now decode using the CPU alone...

Anyone knows if this has been added to trunk in XBMC? Or do I still need to configure and compile XBMC with "--enable-external-ffmpeg"?
