Title: Audio Only Mode and System Resouces
Post by: Ha The Lang on May 29, 2018, 02:26:47 am
Please inform me: in the Audio Only Mode JR frees up system resouces or simply disables some user interface items? Thank you.

It adjusts the interface.

The system resource debate is driven by myth.  Modern computers rarely every have trouble with lack of resources.

More importantly, there is also nothing to disable or gain. Just because Media Center can play a video doesn't mean that any video logic is actually running when you play an audio file. Its only ever loaded when you play a video file.
There are no video background tasks or anything like that running, when you play an audio file, thats all its doing and giving all of its attention to - playing that file. :)

If you’re worried about system resources, why not check with Task Manager? I have a very modest laptop, and when running J River Task Manager shows about 3% or 4% CPU usage, and Task Manager itself uses more CPU than MC. I don’t think there is much to worry about!
