You'll need to connect with ssh - download PuTTY for Windows then login to your OpenELEC client as user root, password openelec and run the following commands:

Code:

systemctl stop xbmc
mv .xbmc .xbmc.bak
sync
reboot

This will now restart your Pi without any third-party XBMC addons (or advancedsettings.xml, or media library).

Confirm if the idle load is reduced - if it is, then it's being caused by an addon. You could now reconfigure your system and add addons one by one monitoring the CPU load until it stays high, then you know which addon is causing the problem.

Or, to revert back to your old settings:

Code:

systemctl stop xbmc
rm -fr .xbmc
mv .xbmc.bak .xbmc
sync
reboot
