Hello, I'm using plasma5-addons-5.8.2-1.1.x86_64 from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I noticed that my plasma was eating CPU and with strace -e "read,open" -p $(pidof plasmashell), I checked that it was frequently opening and reading the media I used in the mediaframe. The problem is that it keeps doing that even after the plasmoid was removed. As I added/removed the plasmoid a bunch of times, plasma was openning and reading the same media files a bunch of times per second! This is the frequency of each syscall during a few seconds monitoring: 3 mmap 3 munmap 4 access 5 write 16 lstat 23 ioctl 35 statfs 70 getdents 90 writev 270 fcntl 305 close 306 open 577 fstat 804 lseek 2825 stat 5107 read 16926 recvmsg 17230 poll 33774 futex read and open are almost exclusively generated by mediaframe (and probably others). As a workaround, I moved the files, which might generate a read error and somehow stopped the loop process. My cpu usage, then, reduced from 160% to 40%. BTW, it would be nice to have mediaframe on bugzilla components list
Cannot reproduce; this doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.
