I have the problem that the new version of hyperion V1.03.3 has a CPU load of ~25% CPU load after installation and setting the configuration. The impact is that the Pi is then slow with no or bad response time, after shutdown the ext4-filesystem is often corrupted.
in comparison the old V1.03.2 has a CPU load of 11%-15% and works like a charme.
more in detail:
I have a Pi 3 with the W2812B LEDs (PWM) and 202 LEDs.
The liberelec which I had installed first half a year ago, works super smooth and without problems.
Now I wanted to make a new install of all parts using raspian with kodi instead of the libreelec solution. And after the installation of the new hyperion version I get in trouble with the high CPU load.
To find the reason, I made some tests:
- installation raspian from scratch, then kodi and at least hyperion 1.03.3. --> 25% CPU of hyperiond
- because there is no chance to download older hyperion version I have copied the Hyperion files from 1.03.2 from my libreelec kodi over the 1.03.3 files -> 11% to 14% CPU load !!
- installation libreelec with new hyperion 1.03.3. --> same 25% CPU
- my "old" installation of librelec with v1.03.2 --> ~11% CPU
for that the reason cannot be the didtibution itself.
I have searched a lot of hours to find the reason, and meantime I have found the source code for 1.03.2. in the releases. Hyperion is a great project but I am disappointed that there is no binaries of the old version.. There is no chance to get the older versions of hyperion or I have to compil it myself ?
I have learned that PWM-mode is not so nice for Pi and hyperion but the older version works fine and my expectation is that the new one deos the same good job.
does the developers have any idea whats going wrong with this issue ?
edit:
added the log of hyperiond 1.03.3, no errors seems all well but 25% CPU
