Try biilding debug , that might help... I don't remember last time i built release

[TheChief79]

OK, last try, but i think, this won't help. We'll see.

EDIT: No success, same issue, just 5.0 fps for the gui. I give up for now and try again later.

BTW The latest nightly from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/ is also slow for me.

EDIT:

I've checkt some 64bit nightlies from xbmc.org.

The latest working build is xbmc-20120803-ef5fd1c-master-x86_64.dmg with 60fps in the GUI.

Text next build xbmc-20120805-d9ce56e-master-x86_64.dmg with just 5fps.

Maybe there is something wrong with frame rate detection or calculation?

Seems to be machine specific. Have someone with a Hackintosh. On his machine my builds are working. Strange!

Also checked on my MBP 5,2 with OSX SL, everything ok. So seems, it just doesnt work on iMac 8.1. Any ideas?

[davilla]

are you screen sharing to look at a remote xbmc ?

[TheChief79]

What do you mean? You want to share my screen?

I'm running XBMC on my local OSX.

[davilla]

that answers my question, thx.

[TheChief79]

If you need mor information, let me now.

[Memphiz]

davilla - 5fps ... sounds like the frameratelimiter when having the obfuscation (you know what i mean )

[TheChief79]

Any solution or hint?

TheChief79 ... look at this method:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/c82418...X.mm#L1251

you are hitting somewhere so that m_obscured gets true - so the framerate limiter kicks in.

Well thats a guess. Add a printout on each and see what it is

[TheChief79]

Line 1347 returns true. I can add more debug prints outs, if you need more information, but you have to say me, what to add.

[Memphiz]

where the obscured is set to true add:

Code:

CFNumberRef windowPID = (CFNumberRef)CFDictionaryGetValue(windowDictionary, kCGWindowOwnerPID);
    int32_t windowPIDInt = 0;
    CFNumberGetValue(windowPID, kCFNumberSInt32Type, &windowPIDInt);
    CLog::Log(LOGDEBUG, "%i", windowPIDInt);

we need to know which window claims to cover the whole xbmc window ... (you have to lookup the printed PID in the activity monitor for getting the offending application)

Problem is "Shades" on my iMac. This program always runs in foreground and is used to dim the screen of my iMac to reduce the bightness. After disabling the program, XBMC works fine. I still want to use it, but then XBMC does not work.

In windowed mode, when XBMC is not in foreground, it keeps 60 fps. Is it different from full screen mode?
