Hi there,
I'm new here. I never had to post anything since all the problems I've ran into on Kodi have been easily solve with a quick Google search. But I'm definitely stuck now.
Basically, if I leave Kodi open (foreground or background), whether playing video or just sitting at the home screen, Kodi can use anywhere from 70% to 120% of the CPU thread that it's on, and of course, my laptop starts sounding like a jumbo-jet. I've tried renaming my .kodi folder to simulate a fresh install, including actually reinstalling kodi, but nothing changes.
I'm aware my hardware it fairly new, so it could be Xubuntu not being able to run perfectly on it, but apart from a non-functioning mic, I haven't noticed anything else.
Anyway, logs are here: https://pastebin.com/GfApvUv9
Also, if starting kodi from the command line, I see this output:
Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
