Has the Skin Helper Service Add-on been recently updated to 1.1.24?
I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days but the problem may have started a few weeks ago. My CPU usage was shooting up to 100% after starting a video and would stay there until I closed Kodi. When starting up again I get low CPU usage initially but have discovered it isn't video playback that causes the spike but simply browsing videos in the GUI triggers it. In fact, if I playback some recorded TV this spike doesn't occur.
If I look in the log I find the following error that occurs at the CPU spike:
https://paste.kodi.tv/ohusegoret.kodi
If I revert to the default Kodi Skin Helper Service 1.1.3 I don't get this problem although I do get an error each message each time Kodi starts as it isn't compatible with Titan.
I'm running Win 10 x64 on an older machine (around 9 years old) but have had a pretty stable set-up for the last few months. Saying that, I have also had to do the following a few months ago as I was getting high CPU usage then too:
Skin Settings -> Homescreen layout -> Select "Disable all widgets"
Skin Settings - > Background settings -> Unselect "Enable background animation"
Any chance this could be looked into as I really like the "Smart Shortcuts" feature which allows my Kids to watch shows that just interest them. Alternatively, can anyone suggest an alternative Skin that also supports this function?
