Thanks you sajuuk !

If it can help someone libplist is needed for airplay.

@ sotris99

Just enter this code in terminal :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14515180/xbmc-rbp-git-20120709-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U xbmc-rbp-git-20120709-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz')

I supposed you're talking about my build.
I don't see any problems with it, you can place it on your repo.

Didn't know if I should have made an extra post for this, but well... it's about the idle cpu load of XBMC on the RPi.
When idle, my xbmc uses about 70 to 90 % cpu. I checked the net for solutions and what I can find is that you need an 'advancedsettings.xml' file in the ~/.xbmc/userdata/ directory. This file should contain the gui setting <algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>. I added the file and even used all of the advanced settings that OpenELEC uses (on which I know, idle xbmc only uses about 20 to 30% cpu), but I still got my high cpu load. The xbmc log also confirms that it uses my advanced settings.
About the xbmc build: I first used one from rbp git that I compiled myself some time ago (also on this thread), but now took a completele fresh arch rpi build and installed the binary from sajuuk. Also put the advancedsettings.xml there, but still have the high cpu load.

Do you guys experience the same? And if so... anybody with a fix/workaround?

For completeness, here is my advancedsettings.xml (the one used by OpenELEC):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
<advancedsettings>
<splash>false</splash>
<showexitbutton>false</showexitbutton>
<destroywindowcontrols>false</destroywindowcontrols>
<fanartheight>512</fanartheight>
<thumbsize>256</thumbsize>
<bginfoloadermaxthreads>2</bginfoloadermaxthreads>
<useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
<visualizedirtyregions>off</visualizedirtyregions>
</gui>
<audio>
<omxhwaudiodecode>1</omxhwaudiodecode>
</audio>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>30242880</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
<samba>
<clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>
</samba>
</advancedsettings>
')

I think I remember reading something about cpu usage when idle:
I think xbmc always refreshes the interface, and it depends on the refresh rate and the vsync settings.
Maybe you can search something about this...
anyway, I think this cpu load is not anormal.

After reading BasiK post I searched a little and found this config file :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>5282880</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
<fanartheight>560</fanartheight>
<thumbsize>256</thumbsize>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
<lookandfeel>
<enablerssfeeds>false</enablerssfeeds>
</lookandfeel>
<bginfoloadermaxthreads>2</bginfoloadermaxthreads>
</advancedsettings>')

With it the cpu consumption is around 12 % !
It comes from Raspbmc. I guess it was the rss feeds that was messing with the dirty regions update.

With that config, idle xbmc cpu usage indeed stays somewhere between 10% & 20%.
Thanks sajuuk!
