[Q] CPU load on Kodi (only music playback) - Fire TV Themes and Apps

I am seeing high CPU-loads when playing back music (that's actually all I am gonna use my AFTVs for) under Kodi 14.0, e.g. playing DI-fm via the addon.
The CPU is fluctuating heavily between 10-30 % on both cores, somtimes even more (as shown in Kodi system information.
That shouldn't be the case, should it? Any ideas?

[Q] a2dp music streaming skip/stutter intermittently in car

Hi.
On any 4.2.2 ROM for d2tmo, I've noticed that regardless of music player I use (Neutron, Jet Audio, Poweramp) or kernel (Ktoonsez, stock, lean, BMS, etc), when streaming music over bluetooth in my car, music intermittently skips. I've wondered if this is deep sleep related, so as a test, I did the following test. I created a Tasker profile that does the following when in the car:
- turns off auto sync
- turns off mobile data
- forces CPU governor to powersave with fixed CPU frequency
For the last case, I have confirmed using CPU spy that when in the car, I successfully prevent the phone from deep sleeping. This combination didn't seem to solve my problem. Also, in the music apps I designate that music should be highest priority (eg: change buffer size, etc).
The skips are anywhere from once to twice maybe in an hour or sometimes a little more. Is this just the nature of bluetooth? Could it be something unavoidable like say interference with RF when driving outside or the fact that my wife has a BT - enabled phone in the car? We noticed that on her iPhone 4S with latest OS, it sometimes skips as well.
If you have a solution or can confirm that this is avoidable, please let me know. Thanks in advance

Question about music apps and navigating fire tv/spmc

So If I am running pandora or tune in radio, the music will keep playing when I 'back' out of the app and am navigating around the fire tv, or even when I enter xbmc. When I start watching a movie in xbmc, the music also keeps playing until I back out of spmc and hit pause.
Is there a better way to handle this? Obviously I like the music playing when navigating, but ideally, if I play anything in spmc it should stop that other app...
Also, are the amazon/android apps always running in the background even though they have been 'closed' or do they shut down eventually if unused?

Why can't this phone stream video through DLNA without cutting off the stream?

Is anyone else able to stream movies from this phone to their DLNA devices (my case I use either Panasonic smart TV or Xbox One to stream to)? I've tried AllConnect and BubbleUPnP (and lesser know ones from google play) and they all drop connection between 5 - 15 minutes into the stream. I've tried turning off battery optimisation on the apps but it made no difference, nor did a reset. On occasion the phone even soft reboots whilst streaming.
Never had this problem on my android tablet or other phones. Any ideas?
I'm on the latest stock android nougat, unrooted. Never got to see if it worked on MM.
Hi guys, could anyone help me out with this?
Had a bit of a breakthrough with it today... the phone streams video perfectly without cutting off after 5/10mins if I set the phone to 'stay awake while charging' in developer options and leave it plugged in. I assume by activating that setting there are processes being overridden and prevented from occurring that cut the video stream off in normal use.
Perhaps some system process related to doze/battery optimization?

m9 nougat DLNA & sleep

Hi there,
Is there any way to prevent htc m9 from going to sleep when the screen is off?
I use the phone's stock Music App to play music from a DLNA Server.
It plays for about 2 minutes then stops.
So I guess it's gone to sleep or something.
The screen is off as it's night time.
It's running android 7.0.
Are there better DLNA Players maybe that will stay playing while the screen is off maybe ?
Is there a custom rom that doesn't do this maybe ?
I got the phone specifically for its audio capabilities so this is a showstopper for me.
Tried setting HTC Service - DLNA, Music, Music Widget, HTC Sense Input to 'Not optimized' in 'Battery optimization'. Didn't make **** difference.
thanks for any ideas,
FYI for anyone interested, turns out phone wasn't the problem.
Tried a different dlna source (miniDLNA) and the app MediaHouse . Works as expected - no more pauses, timeouts, sleeps, cut off or doze when the screen turns off or not charging battery.
Also, before that amongst other things I tried rooting it and playing around with the governor and minimum speed. No effect at all.

Help troubleshooting Sony X950G video and audio streaming problem

Hello,
Long story short, I have a Sony X950G with Android 9, and for some time, usually every day, randomly, when playing an stream the video and audio pauses on the TV.
I can browse back to the homescreen again, but the system will lose its navigation sound, and if I try to open another app, video won't play (eg, YouTube) or video will play breaking up and without sound (eg, CW app), and the system will feel under stress.
The only way to mitigate the problem is restarting the TV, but the next day will happen again.
I believe this not a networking problem, because I have 100mbps up/ 100mbps down, and it's a reliable connection.
Using the analiti app, the network ttl (round trip) was around 47, 55, 65, is this acceptable? Could this be an issue? I have an Xbox One, and I don't have this issues using streaming apps.
Anyone having a similar issue or ideas on how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
What application is this happening in, or is it on the OTA tuner?

Click to expand...

Usually, this happens when I'm watching videos, such as The CW, NBC, Plex, Sony Media Player app, etc. However, yesterday for example, I got the issue as I finish installing the NBC app. Though, I couldn't say if it actually started as I tried to open the Google Play store.
When I sound went off, I was able to navigate, but it felt that the system was using a lot of resources, because moving around and starting apps took a long time.
Disable any/all apps that you don't use?
Factory reset would be next suggestion.
