Hello,

I don't know if this has been reported already, but lately I noticed that my Raspi 3B (running OSMC, with Aeon Nox Silvo skin, latest updates) was starting to idle at ~100% cpu (first sign was that browsing videos was enough to trigger the 'hot!' thermometer sign on screen).
Today I spent some time debugging the issue, disabling addons one by one, and the culprit was found to be Artist Slideshow (v3.0.0).
Once I disable it (and reboot Kodi) the cpu idle returns to a saner ~20%.

Yours is the first report of something like this, and I haven't noticed that here during the burn-in testing.  That said, I don't have a RPI (although I do have OSMC on a Vero 4K+).  I did just check, and when listening to music with AS doing the slideshow I'm at about 6.2% processor load.  With Kodi just sitting there doing nothing I'm between 2% and 4% load.

What skin are you using?  For Estuary (and my mod) AS only runs if you are listening to music and have the Music Visualization screen up.  Some skins leave AS running in the background to provide ongoing art in other areas.  If you're seeing issues when browsing video, I'm not sure how that can be AS unless you're using one of those skins that has lots of scripts processing things in the background.  But I'm happy to keep looking.
