Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with VLC... normally the box boots up runs an
plays videos just fien with about 20% usage for VLC (celeron and or intel
Atom hardware).
After some time - day or two of playing videos. Something happens.
The CPU usage jumps way up like 120% kind of usage.  Like the vdpau stuff
is no longer working.

Is this a know issue ?
What should I look for  ?
What can I provide to help ?

 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525   @ 1.80GHz
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev a2)

Thanks

Jerry

Hey Jerry,

I'd look in the kernel log to see what's up. Perhaps the GPU hangs?

Cheers,

if I reboot the box - and look again at syslog it shows the same thing
above.

Not seeing any  errors or anything.

Thoughts?

 Jerry
