cpu hog

hey,

 

here is some strange behavior. after reboot, cpu usage is around 20% and everything runs fine. after watching a movie, cpu usage is between 50% and 60%, with this task taking up the lion's share :

  984     1 root     S     469m155.5   0 45.0 /usr/lib/plexhometheater/plexhometheater --standalone -fs --lircdev /var/run/lirc/lircd

and it continues at this pace until reboot. trying to watch a second film results in a blocked rasplex.

 

any ideas ?  thanks !

I had the same problem with 3.1 today

the system eventually went back to normal after 5 minutes, but I rebooted before resuming my show. This was while watching a tv show and not a movie.
