build #0515
when changing from the movie to the directory my IR remote control was disabled.
After a reboot everything was and remained ok.
Edit :
It has occurred again, if I probably stay 1-2 minutes in the directory then I have no function of the IR remote control more.
It could also be the Kodi "freezes" and it is not the IR

@everyone: Are you still seeing higher than usual CPU load when playing videos?
I'm not able to reproduce this so far (Pi3+).
How are you monitoring load - top, bcmstat.sh or PlayerDebug? Which build is the first that has higher than usual load - is it #0515?

Hi Milhouse,
Yes I am, and it started at #0425, presumably because of ffmpeg 4.0-Leia-Alpha-1
In my case I'm seeing about a 10% retrograde in HEVC video. Using my highest bit rate file, before #0425 it was comfortably playing, peaking at about 80-90% on all four cpus, now the same file maxes out all four cpus and will even stutter at the highest bitrates, about 45-55Mb/s peak. This is measured with both the on screen performance display and using top.
I'm using a slightly overclocked Pi 3B+.
Regards,
Kevin.

Hi,
If you mean after #0511, ffmpeg: hevc: Latest updates from Ben no I don't see that, there may be a very slight improvement, in that there is less stuttering maybe, but I'm still maxed out at 100% on all CPUs during high data rate sections 45-55Mb/s.
Keep in mind that this is a very high data rate file anyway and I was getting 80-90% usage before #0425.
These figures are for a slightly overclocked Pi 3B+ using the on screen performance display and using top.
I can upload the file somewhere if you like.
Regards,
Kevin.

Yeah, it doesn't play well on a Pi3, lots of skipped frames.
