mentasm 43 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Hi, I've noticed recently weird behaviour in the backdrop screen saver. It will do the following: Display one backdrop and do the pan/zoom effect for about 5 seconds and will then pause for a couple seconds. It then displays the next one for about a second or so with no pan/zoom and then moves on to the next one. This behaviour is then repeated ad infinitum. Does anyone else experience the same? Any ideas what could be causing this? Edit: Seems I have reported it before, but didn't really get to any conclusion: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/4912-backdrop-screensaver-unusual-behaviour/ Edited September 26, 2014 by mentasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentasm 43 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 :/ Guess I'm the only one. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven 136 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do you see something in the logs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkbone 38 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 You are not the only one, mentasm - I have seen this as well. It's actually been happening for quite a while, but personally, I didn't care. It's still keeping a static picture from staying on screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn 655 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yes, I notice the same thing too but it doesn't happen all the time. That makes it kinda hard to pin down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14898 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have seen it as well but it is inconsistent. I believe it is simply WMC not being able to keep up with some animations and other things going on at the same time but I haven't spent too much time looking for it.

AdrianW 1052 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The only issue I have with the MBC screensaver is the amount of CPU it uses - If I leave it on screensaver for longer than a minute or two the fan on my NUC speeds up to an intense level. It seems to use more CPU than playback of 1080p content via MadVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to use more CPU than playback of 1080p content via MadVR. Playback of 1080p material is child's play compared to the types of things this plug-in does. Video playback really isn't all that taxing - just throw an image up 24-30 times a second. Doing the math to scale and move large images around on the screen - that's another matter and takes much more graphics processing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
