Hi mailing list, perhaps this question was asked on other forums before (maybe even in a different language). Google failed to bring up search results for vdr idle cpu usage. I have vdr 1.7.14 running with the only plugins dummydevice and streamdev-server, no client is currently connected and on my Pentium 3 machine 1GHz, it uses between 10% ~ 15% cpu "idling". This is also after a restart of vdr and tuning to a channel that has got no video and audio. So now my question is, why would vdr use even more than 1% cpu usage, compared to other services like mediatomb that if not in use is about 0.1%. Is this a requirement that vdr uses this much all the time?
It is definitly not VDR itself, but rather one of the plugins. My VDR (1.7.15) with several Plugins (skinenigmang,femon,streamdev-server,xine) consumes less than 1% CPU when idle (but tuned to a valid station), and less than 5% when a xine client is connected (HD Channel!)
CPU is a Core 2 6600 (2.4 Ghz)
