Hello I'm running vdr 1.3.44 with externalplayer 0.1.0 on a Celeron M @ 1.3 Ghz and a dxr3 card. It works OK, excepting the high cpu load. Here is the output of top : top - 19:34:00 up 7:51, 3 users, load average: 1.87, 1.04, 0.54 Tasks: 47 total, 3 running, 44 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 21.6% us, 78.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 223016k total, 219052k used, 3964k free, 92176k buffers Swap: 257000k total, 0k used, 257000k free, 82972k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 24528 damien 25 0 21452 3424 844 R 99.3 1.5 3:55.63 dxr3player 4351 damien 16 0 96548 17m 2656 S 0.3 8.0 3:40.20 vdr With dxr3player alone : top - 19:39:03 up 7:56, 3 users, load average: 0.14, 0.80, 0.61 Tasks: 43 total, 2 running, 41 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 2.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 98.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 223016k total, 189556k used, 33460k free, 79832k buffers Swap: 257000k total, 0k used, 257000k free, 82792k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 24563 damien 15 0 21452 3456 872 S 2.0 1.5 0:02.00 dxr3player Did anyone have the same problem and fix it ?
