Understood. We'll have to wait and see.

Oomek, could you care to explain a bit more on this?

Do I have to copy all this to my config? So by using this, we don't need to encapsulate anymore? I wanna check this with the cosmos theme.

I'll have to check this out.

Thanks again, man. Really appreciate your help with the ffmpeg stuff.

I didn't bother to do that, Oomek. I mean, encapsulating it is a great idea, but cpu usage increases a tiny bit (perhaps 5%) if you turn on the static effect. I just turned it off, less cpu usage. I don't really know why I should leave it on. It's supposed to be the effect you get when you don't have a certain snap of the rom per si, right?

Better to leave it off. Yea.

Mostly all of them, but Basic and Reflect seem to work fine.

Go to Settings section, and select Displays. Now, you'll have to do this to each display you have, even the main menu. Select the display and go to Layout Options. In here, you'll find Enable Monitor Static Effect turned on by default, turn it off.

I've been using the Cosmos theme, which is quite demanding. Cosmos theme, without snaps or boxart/cartart, is around 15 to 40% or so. Well, with snaps and boxart/cartart, it doesn't change, same cpu usage.

On the default themes, Basic, Reflect, Attract, etc.. You'll get 5 to 10% of cpu usage with snaps, same without snaps.

In terms of threaded optimizations, there is no difference for me. I tried it, and it's even worse, constant 100%. If you have several threads, I think you should leave this option to Auto.

I've SOOLVEEDD IT!! YEEEESSHHH! Finally! Heh!

Oomek! Forget the threaded and buffer-flipping mode! Turn those to their previous setting. Now you'll still have to do the ffmpeg process that you told me before (Thanks AGAIN!).

Execute Attract Mode, and to each display layout, including the main menu, turn off the Static Monitor Effect. On the Cosmos theme, which is very demanding, i'm getting 18 to 44%, being 44% the video reload. On any other theme, you'll get 5 to 10%.

Don't ask me why, but it works. Give it a try, please.

Sadly, I get the same results.

But I've noticed a few things. The default Basic and Reflect layouts, without snaps, are at 1% of Cpu usage (Yes!). With snaps, they're around 44 to 55%. All other layouts with snaps, 100%. All this without avi containers.

So, for all the other layouts, it's 50% layout 50% snap. But here's the strange thing, Orbit is always at 100%, yet it is as simple as Basic or Reflect.

In any case, thanks for the help, Oomek. I'll either have to try another front end, or wait for the lead designer to release a build with Video Decoding by Hardware.

Doesn't work, Oomek. I get the same results.

Only 5% of Cpu usage?! This clearly shows something is not right here.

Oomek, is this the latest release of Attract Mode or are you using a specific version?

I've just been told by a few people, that their cpu usage runs between 25 and 40 while displaying videos. Something doesn't make sense here. If it's a problem with the Video Decoder (No Hardware Option), then all the people would be having the same problem. But that's not the case. Most computer users are not experiencing any problems at all, while others are.

It looks like it solved the constant 100% usage, but it still reaches those limits when you're spinning the wheels, mainly due to starting each video, which results in 100% usage. Displaying the video usually takes around 80% or so.

Is this actually normal? What sort of cpu usage do you people have? My Attract Mode without videos is 50%.

I'm on Windows 10. You just extract ffmpeg.exe make 2 folders mp4 and avi. Then you copy or move your mp4 files to the mp4 folder. Make a bat file and paste the line from my post and add "pause" in the 2nd line. So now you should have 2 folders, ffmpeg.exe and a convert.bat in the directory. Doubleclick the bat and let the magic happen.

I'll try this as soon as possible. Thanks!

Oomek, your AM is on windows, right? Not rasp..

If so, could you explain a bit more? When you install/extract ffmpeg (From ffmpeg.org?), the folder itself contains a mp4/avi folder. So I need to transfer all my videos to those folders, and run the batch command.

Does this process take that long? Also, could you tell me how much it went down?
