Hi,
This is my first post. New to Kodi.
I tried Helix for the first time on my windows PC and bumped into an issue I thought.
My specs:
CPU: Intel i3 3225 @3.4ghz
MB:ASRock B75 PRO3-M
MEM: 8 GB DDR3 (2x4) dual channel@ 1600mhz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD5670 (MSI CYCLONE 1GB)
OS: Windows 8.1 PRO x64
Upon scrolling, start stop movie and go thorugh list, I saw little skin corruptions like shown in below image.
Tried it on a different PC, but I saw the exact same result. The other PC is very similar compared to above specs.
Both PC's are Intel i3's with a dedicated AMD HD5750. This isn't that powerful for gaming, but should do the trick IMO.
I tried a different skin, and I noticed the fan got a lot louder. So I opened up AMD CCC to see what GPU was doing. 100% usage ..
I found out that when the RSS feed is enabled, the GPU load is 40% or 100% (depending on skin) when I am not even touching the controls.
with RSS feed:
without RSS feed:
As can be visible, the GPU is at 100%. Tested with different skin too, confluence. This effect on GPU still visible, but less.
Tried getting logs, but I don't know what / how yet. (still a noob and learning fast)
Is the issue I describe a known issue?
Or what can I do about it. Do I need to change some settings?
[edit]
I see the middle picture is not shown anymore. (weird) but it had a similar image, but then with 100% GPU usage indication.
[edit2]
I edited the title of the thread. Seems RSS makes the problem I am having worse, but its only just that.
