100% cpu

Hi all,

I have noticed that sometimes Boxee takes 100% CPU when watching a video, eating a lot of memory too.

or with a lot of "Timeout waiting for previous frame to be presented" lines.

[marcel]

i check into this ..does it happen on all video content or just specific files ,what other applications were running...

[inercia]

It happens sometimes, but I'm not sure if it is related to video playback.

I've just got a new 100% CPU usage, with a log like this:

filling 250Mb of logs with the "waiting for thread" message... I guess I should install Shark.
