Hey,
I am a bit of a noob to linux and XBMC. I have a similar setup as _mage_:
- pentium III 800 Mhz (Coppermine)
- 512MB SDRAM 133Mhz
- Sparkle 8400 GS PCI
- 200GB seagate barracuda ATA 100
- HP d9820-60007 Motherboard from an HP Vectra
- Mint 9 LXDE
but 720p and 1080p is almost impossible to play. CPU is at 100%, VCPU is at 78% and VDPAU is activated in XBMC. _mage_, did you do something to get the cpu usage down, except adding the 8400 GS card?
I have noticed that file-transfer outside of XBMC brings the CPU to 100% as well. Is there any way to optimize file-transfer so that CPU usage decreases? I think that is why the CPU is at 100% when playing 1080p material in XBMC.
