Jarvis 16.1: 100% CPU usage with h265

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hi,

I’m having 100% CPU usage that results in stuttering when watching h265 videos. While my hardware is rather ancient (core2duo E8200 @2.66GHz & AMD Radeo HD6570 1GB. OS: Win10 Anniversary 64bit), other players have no issues playing the same files. MPC HC for example only uses about 33% CPU on the same machine.

I tried activating HW acceleration in Kodi. It was on “Auto detect” and I tried “DXVA” and “Pixel shaders”, but both had no effect. Is there any way to get the same performance out of Kodi I have with MPC HC?

Thanks a lot!
