Nextpvr.exe is using 20% of the CPU, just displaying the screen saver. Is this normal?
If I wake it up, this drops to about 18%
Cheers

I'v got about the same on my computer. I'd guess this is normal.

that is quite a lot for screen saver...idle of 18%? that can't be necessary...but it's still early in development..
just hope it comes down eventually...waste of power being that high.. my pvrx2 box rarely gets over 18% except for spikes of menu movement...[yeah acceleration]

I've mentioned this happening to me previously so I just turn the screen saver off. Screen savers don't really 'save' screens anymore anyway.

Don't they? The plasma's at work that always show sky news have the banner burned in as you can clearly see it when on a different channel. Do LCDs not suffer the same?

Or they get the so called "clouding" (little cloudes on the corner): just remove the powercordle and lay down the tft to it's face for the night. TFT's don't have the problems, plasma or crts have.

just plasmas have burn in...that's why i recommend against them for consumers, they eventually die..it's a tube...
lcd's could theoretically go on forever...only the light source suffers daily wear..[ccfl tubes or now led light sources should make them last a really really long time..  ]led lcd screens have about a thousand leds lighting it up...so even if a few go out, you'll barely notice it.. dlp lasts forever but theyir light source needs replacement every few years..[projector bulbs] and it also doesn't suffer burn-in like plasmas..

My HTPC has an Ahtlon X2 6000, Win7 64 and nPVR uses 30% CPU just sitting on the menu without the screen saver running, it uses less CPU when I'm watching a recording or live TV. I have nPVR installed on another computer which doesn't exhibit this problem.

@DrSoftware
Please zip and attach your logfiles from the X2 machine. You like nPVR? Then please help pay the bills, and keep the project alive!
