Oh-oh - it's the Quartz skin - so that explains why I'm seeing the bar .... but that CPU ... ????

can you try to get all to default and see if this issue still happens? Default means to reflash Alpha5 and do not change any settings except the audio and video to your needs
Okay - I'll reflash - I'll just install Quartz ... bit of a pain because the wifi install doesn't work on my system ... so I'll have to swap cards and dongle onto ethernet'ed Pi to do the ssh config.
please do not install any custom skin, stay with default Confluence at least for test
edit: also please turn on debugging in settings
So - will debugging show the cpu load?
okay - reinstalled. Confluence only - nothing changed
First, having a real problem trying to change video - the menu keeps locking up. Just leaving at default.
Secondly, debugging on shows CPU at 95-97%
And - now ... it's locked up again - can't reviive from screen-saver dim.
What now?
It's still running - at 95% but can't get out of dimmed screensaver.
Not sure if edit triggers a notification - so just a small bump!
Why do replies get added to original post???
second bump
are you on Wifi or LAN ? if you are on Wifi can you try connect just by LAN or no network at all if you have no LAN
I do ask you to do this steps to marrow down the problem,so hope you understand my steps
Can't do LAN as tv is too far from router ... I'll run just without wifi.
Without wifi - CPU is 96%
sorry if I didnt make myself clear at the beginning, but im not interested into your CPU load but the reason why is your RPi freeze
btw how do u operate XBMC ? do you have keyboard? if yes how is it connected ?
also any other device in USB ports?
I use a flirc:
http://flirc.tv in usb port
But - I get the same lockup using a usb logitech keyboard
ok,are u connected direct or powered USB hub?
Also Im suspicious that your RPi is not actually freeze but just your keyboard is unresponsive once dimmer is activated.
When this happened can you try access your RPi from other computer from web browser using the webserver remote and see if is working ?
Uptime without wifi - 1 hour - no lockups
If you recall - some time back I reported the strange wifi issue - wifi showing continuos blue light even though xbmc shutdown.
I suspect a wifi issue ... maybe the dongle is defective?
I've gone back to alpha 4 - after a couple of lockups I disabled cec - plugged in wifi - haven't been able to test more (as tv now in use!). But - xbmc shutdown is fast AND wifi blue light is OFF.
Anyway - I'm getting a new dongle - so unless you have any ideas I'll leave it a couple of days & test 5 alpha again with new dongle.
you know the basic rule that any USB device should be self powered or connected through powered USB hub ?

Never had any probems uptil now!!!
so there you go
get the powered usb hub and get your wifi dongle into that and you should be ok
