#12489 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

masking images delays mythfrontend startup

Reported by: lomion@… Owned by: stuartm
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.28
Component: MythTV - User Interface Library Version: 0.27.4
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

fphilips found out that masked background images in menu_ui.xml dramatically delay startup of mythfrontend (see https://github.com/fphillips/blue-abstract-wide/commit/b13747811da89c13903ea531a20919609027d738)

With every <mask> tag the mask images is loaded (and resized in trunk) which causes the delay.

Attached is a fix for it

appears to be an extraneous change to mythtv/libs/libmythui/mythuitext.cpp in that last patch

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by lomion@…

starta: Correct, the last change in mythuitext.cpp is not related to this issue. When using a theme with scrolling text the CPU usage goes to 100%! That's another bug I guess. I don't understand the code well enough to fix this bug so I tried to disable scrolling whenever the screensafer is active to safe some CPU cycles (and power). As a result mythfrontend went down to 30% but X11 went up to 70% :-P Maybe somebody might want to look into it ... in the meantime I switch to a screen without scrolling ;-)
