CPU running too hot on Raspberry - SOLVED

<< < (2/3) > >>

3. I'd start here with finding out why the system isn't idling. That's driving up temps and leaving no processing power for audio.
1. Yeah, that seems like a bad idea on a system with a small amount of RAM.
2. My general advice would be not altering swap usage on any system (unless you really know what you're doing). I've seen lots of advice on things like swap coming from people that have no idea what they're talking about (in contrast to the actual designers of the OS). You're more likely to get a stable system keeping it stock instead of creating some permutation of settings that are never/rarely tested before release.

Well, we are all in agreement that something is wrong in that even at idle MC23 is consuming resources. HTOP does not give me any clue other than to report out the CPU%. On Dietpi it show I have 50 processes and only MC23 is running. The question remains why is MC23 not playing nice. I did try another SD Card with nRasbian and got the same kind of results, so I can't blame the OS or the SD Card.

Zhillsguy:
Did you try all suggestions given?

If you have implemented all of the other suggestions clear your library and check. If all is good with no library start with a few MP3 files in a single folder and go from there. You may have one or more corrupt files causing issues.

Scobie:
Agreed, I've seen MC23 on my Debian install spinning its wheels for no apparent reason and it was some corrupt thumbnails, trying to rebuild them only made it worse.

Only fix was to blow the library away and reimport, been great since.

neolith:
Yes, I did try all of the suggestions - no sense asking for advice and then ignoring it :).  I will try recreating the library and see what happens. I was wondering - is there a log file that I can check? Thanks to all for staying with me.
