CPU-XBMC is how much XBMC uses the difference is xbmc one uses 100% for each core of the cpu so its max is 200% on dual core machines
Thanks, that's clear now.
So Your results at
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=159...stcount=81 were reporting which CPU usage?
To all:
I agree that we could improve testing procedure by specifying our hardware in particular order and format + test the same samples + was vsync on and what framerate and CPU-Total, CPU-XBMC usage (I leave question about dropped frames open because in my 720p case I had them only after start and when I skipped forward/backward, so I don't know if it's normal or not).
About HW specs it could be something like this:
CPU: Manufacturer, EXACT Model name, clocking (if overclocked, write stock and overclocked values You used to test)
GPU: Manufacturer, EXACT model name, ram ammount (if overclocked, write stock and overclocked values You used)
MOBO: Manufacturer, model name
RAM: Manufacturer, Model, amont, type, clocking (if overclocked, write stock and overclocked values You used)
About results:
Codec, container, resolution, vsync setting (on/off), lowest noticed framerate, CPU-Total, CPU-XBMC usage, (dropped frames?)
About samples:
I'll ask my very video experienced friend if x264 is most demanding and for some dynamic samples. 750i 720p 1080i 1080p set would be ok I believe, the only questions are codec and dynamic (demanding) samples. I believe my friend will give me the answers today.
About Wiki:
It would be good if we/someone could post them at XBMC Wiki.
