Ah! I didn't notice your updates, so I didn't refer to them in my previous post. I'm posting again just so it pings you and so when you reply it pings me 
Anyway, I don't know what could be causing the 100% CPU issue. Have you tried running xbmc without xbmal (but with everything else) to be sure it's the problem? I'm not sure how it would be, as when a video isn't playing, all it does is sit there in a wait loop, doing literally nothing but sleeping, until XBMC fires an 'OnVideoStarted' or 'OnPlaybackStopped' or 'OnPlaybackEnded' event. You might try updating to 0.4 and deleting your /userdata/addon_settings/xbmal.script/settings.xml file and checking CPU usage before and after running the setup script, just to rule it out. I don't want to go on a wild goose chase ^_^
Since the MAL Updater uses calls to the XBMC library, it assumes all of your shows are indexed in that library. It can only update what the xbmc library sees. When you run the setup script, it should report back all of your xbmc shows, and it's best guesses to a mapped MAL show. The guess is almost guaranteed to be wrong for each show (well, 50%, anyway), and that's my next major fix goal. It'll only update shows in your 'watching' and 'plan to watch' list, based on stats that are only available in the xbmc library (that is, I can't read them from the file alone), and right now it only works for the tv library (I imagine the video library will be a future release, way down the line). So basically, unless you populate the xbmc library, this addon is sadly useless, due to (understandable) limitations in the way xbmc stores it's database.
Just to test to be sure I didn't just say complete idiocy to you because I misunderstood, could you run https://github.com/kuruoujou/XBMal/blob/...pisodes.py (outside of XBMC, just a simple python script) which will get a list of all the episodes recognized by the XBMC library in exactly the same format as the script? You can post the output to xbmclogs.com, if you think it's too long. Also, if the result is not empty, could you post your /userdata/addon_data/script.xbmal/config.xml file? DON'T post settings.xml, that contains some sensitive info and I really don't need it, as it's generated by XBMC anyway and there's not much I can do with it.
Thank you, sir!
