Okay, so I'm new to kodi/xbmc but I've been using MYTHTV, MPLAYER and FFMPEG for many years.
I'm on Gentoo AMD64/X86_64 (Linux thialfi2 3.18.3-gentoo #1 SMP Sat Jan 17 11:36:44 AWST 2015 x86_64 Intel® Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux)).
I have 32GB of DDR3-1600MHz RAM, tested and specifically rated for this CPU/Motherboard configuration - X79MA-GD45 (MS-7738) with BIOS v3.8.
I'm running XORG 1.16.3-r1, with nVidia drivers (proprietary) 346.35. My xorg.conf file is here --> xorg.conf — intentionally, compositing is enabled and using COMPTON with the following invocation:
I have also tried disabling compositing and compton with the same results.
Here's my glxinfo --> glxinfo
With MythTV (v0.27.4_p20141018) and MPlayer (v1.2_pre20141011) numerous videos use between 9% and 13% on one core of my system.
With Kodi 14.0, Kodi itself reports 100% - 120% (20% to 30% on four cores), with the same test videos.
Here's my Kodi Debug Log --> kodi.log
Here's the output of lshw: lshw
Here's my kernel config: config
I'm not sure what else to post, but I'll be happy to do so. I'm really liking Kodi and reckon it probably isn't intended to use this much CPU on a system of this type.
Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve CPU utililisation.
Some of this CPU utilisation is present just on the Kodi interface with no video playing.
Any help with this is appreciated.
Cheers,
Kirk
