This was with vdr's pid. And this is oprofiler output CPU: CPU with timer interrupt, speed 0 MHz (estimated) Profiling through timer interrupt samples % image name symbol name 9500 98.0595 anon (tgid:2600 range:0x48c000-0x48d000) (no symbols) 188 1.9405 vdr (no symbols) And it is the same results after I restart vdr. The difference is that before restart vdr caused cpu load of 99,5% and after restart vdr caused cpu load of 1%. And this is because of the channel being a radio channel. Oprofilers output is slightly different CPU: CPU with timer interrupt, speed 0 MHz (estimated) Profiling through timer interrupt samples % image name symbol name 9500 96.7216 anon (tgid:2600 range:0x48c000-0x48d000) (no symbols) 313 3.1867 vdr (no symbols) 9 0.0916 anon (tgid:4479 range:0xf5a000-0xf5b000) (no symbols) I suspended softdevice output from the settings but it made no change. Still after reboot vdr takes all cpu time. When I changed softdevice playback setting to playing from the main menu it caused restart of vdr and cpu load dropped to normal (~60%). So suspending did not help either. I tried also plugin option -vo shm: to see the effect and this dropped cpu load of vdr to 2%. But this is ofcourse not usable \\Kartsa
