    Question Vino & Xbmc issues

    Hi All,

    Many thanks for looking at this thread.

    I am using vino remote access server & xbmc on Ubuntu 12.04. Everything works nicely without any problems. Recently, I have looked at htop over the terminal, and I have discovered when I access the vino server the CPU usage shows around 20%, and when disconnect vnc access from the client software, the cpu shows around 90%. please find the screen shots below,

    With accessing the vino:


    Without accessing the vino:


    Please advise!

    Deeply appreciate and thanks in advance!

    Regards,

    I assume you are running the default install of xbmc with the default skin (Confluence).

    The issue is caused by the news ticker at the bottom. Here's the easiest way to fix it:

    1. Go to Settings > Appearence > Skin
    2. On the right side untick "Show RSS news feeds"

    You can, alternatively, also change the skin.

    Many thanks for your answers.

    At the moment, XBMC shows 9% which i think it is much better than 23%, but Vino still showing 90% when XBMC is running.

    I just noticed the same issue, so I decided to stop using vino and switch to x11vnc. I did a brief test and it seems x11vnc doesn't exhibit these issues. Even if connected while a movie is playing it still has lower cpu footprint then vino -20-30% on a Dual Core 1.2GHz CULV Intel.

    Here's what I did to get it up and running:
    1. Start the Screen sharing configurator and disable screen sharing.
    2. Install x11vnc & xinetd
    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install x11vnc xinetd
    3. Go to /etc/xinetd.d/ and create a new file with the following content:
    Code:
    x11vncservice
    {
            port            = 5900
            type            = UNLISTED
            socket_type     = stream
            protocol        = tcp
            wait            = no
            user            = root
            server          = /usr/bin/x11vnc
            server_args     = -inetd -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -q
            disable         = no
    }
    4. Start the xinetd service
    Code:
    $ sudo start xinetd

            disable         = no
    }
    4. Start the xinetd service
    Code:
    $ sudo start xinetd
    It didn't work for me, but I have found a link, it works great! Please find it below,
