Well, the issue has recurred today. I had been using it without Cross- fader. Before a PC restart I re-enabled Cross-fader in Rhythmbox.
After the restart Rhythmbox is back to using a large amount of CPU and pushing the temperatures up. I tried disabling the plug-ins, one- at-a-time, but with them all now disabled the issue continues. So it looks like your earlier question about the Cross-fader was on the money. Is there any further diagnosis I can do to further determine why this happens? -- CPU 60% and High Temperatures playing large MP3s https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141390 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
