I have SuSE 8.1 as well -- perhaps it is just because of the "update" from 7.3 2 weeks ago...I have the same "feature" here on my newly installed SuSE 8.1 box. AMD Athlon 600 MHz, 512 MB, Two HD with DMA enabled Plain vanilla SuSE 8.1 kernel 2.4.19-4GB Two dvb-s 1.3 (one with a CI-Interface) I have removed any CAM Driver from sometimes end of December Plain vanilla vdr 1.1.24 No plugins loaded at all.
CPU-Usage jumps right to 40% whenever a replay starts and stays there (with slight variances)
yupp.
Even without any recording/replay vdr uses between 2.x and 14.5 % CPU (seen with top)This might be the EPG scanner. Look at the thread number and compare with /var/log/messages. IMHO arte produces the smallest amount of EPG CPU usage (>1% here).
