Hi There,
I'm really enjoying the beta. I've made the move from Media Portal and am not looking back.
Two minor issues I'm experiencing:
1) When xbmc is idle, my fans spin up. This is a little counter intuitive as they're actually very quiet when I'm doing things with xbmc (ie., browsing, listening to music, non hd content). Its loud enough that I actually close xbmc when not in use, which is an ok workaround but kind of annoying.
I log in to another session remotely via remote desktop and see that there doesn't seem to be abnormal cpu usage while idle, though it usually bumps somewhere between 4-8%. Compare that to about 20% while watching 1080p encoded content.
2) Screensaver mode doesn't work. Neither "black" nor "dim". Testing it doesn't work either.
I'm running an Intel G35 chipset motherboard (Asus p5e-vm hdmi) and an intel Q6600 processor, if that helps. Not sure if a debug log would help for these types of problems but let me know if they would and I can figure out how to produce one.
Thanks!
