I have the same issue with my iMac. After 2 minutes the temp starts to rise.

The same issue occurs with Kodi 7.3 and 7.4 RC1.

Your only hope is trying v18

I did some reading about this issue with more open workspaces and CPU load, and guess what ! I found something that kind of solved the high CPU issue with my setup.

Turn on : accessibility > display > reduce transparency

can someone confirm this works ?

try v16. this version works without pushing temps...

Just tried the latest v18. Same thing here. When the KODI window is on some other screen and not visible it still uses 25% cpu

Anything new on this issue?

Please test http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/osx/x...x86_64.dmg

Great work, ill start testing it.

Update 12-11-2017 : Perhaps too early, but this is looking good here. The CPU stays down even when i am doing lots of other stuff on the second workspace. Ill monitor it for a while and report back.

@Rechi is this test build a krypton backport already?

Yes, otherwise it wouldn't have Krypton in the file name.

After two days of Testing : the mentioned high CPU usage is solved on my system with this build. Excellent work Rechi. Are there other testers who can confirm ?

My system is a Mac mini 2011 Intel HD3000 16GB RAM - Philips led tv - maranz 1403 - flirc and harmony remote

The fix is in Kodi v17.6.

BTW this isn't my work, its FernetMentas, I only backported it to Krypton.
