Xine was eating the CPU, but the odd thing is that I ran my standalone test command as the same user I run freevo with (root, yes I know but it is fire-walled off from the world). I have no idea what is causing the problem, but I'm giving up and reverting to 1.7.2 which I was running before with no problems, I will do that tomorrow evening. I have literally changed nothing else between installs, only freevo has changed, but my media centre is now a mess, crashing on playback of video, not recording correctly etc. I will report back if reverting to 1.7.2 helps, or if this is just a co-incidence and something else happens to have failed / started failing at the same time :) If reverting doesn't work at least I will know for sure that something other than freevo is broken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
