High Processor Usage

[rbelisle]

I have a strange circumstance that causes PVRX2 to use almost all processor...

- Schedule a recording, record the show, comskip is run after the show is done.
- Go into PVRX2 and everything is fine, processor-wise. Can look at the recording, tv guide, etc...
- When you go to live TV, processor usage goes up to 100% and live tv starts (delayed for a while because the processor is busy) then all you get is frame updates every couple of seconds.

Shut down PVRX2 and restart the recording service, start Live TV again. Works fine. Start a recording, then cancel it so it doesn't complete. Everything is fine.

Not sure if it is comskip causing the problem or what else it could be.

Logs attached.

Which task is showing the high CPU use?

Try setting different decoders.

As more information, once you restart the recording service, pvrx2 works fine...

I remember that same phenomenon from a couple of years ago. I can't remember what the fix was though, or if it just needed a driver update.

Edit: I just went back and checked my post from years back. It was the GBPVR tray that was causing the issue. Once it was removed the problem went away. I built a new machine and the problem never resurfaced.
