![]() ![]() ![]() From what I found so far, a considerable amount of people were able to fix this issue by simple cleaning the insides of their machines using air dusters, especially the fans. I am spending sleepless nights, researching for a fix□. Previously my Mini (even at 1.66GHz) had sufficient CPU headroom to watch video - now I cannot. All I know is that my Mac Mini HTPC is rendered useless by NetFlix's required Silverlight update. I don't know who to blame: NetFlix or Silverlight (MSFT). I suspect - but have no evidence - that NetFlix's Silverlight plug-in is not offloading video decoding to the GPU so the CPU is doing all the decoding. On my 2.93GHz 2009 MBP I see similar behavior (very high CPU utilization) but I think the CPU is beefy enough to cope: the same NetFlix movies play well. The CPU is maxed out video is jerky, stuttering and audio drops out. (Total coincidence - I had planned this for a while.) *SAME PROBLEM*. Yesterday I finished a CPU upgrade to my Mini (yes yes yes - I know it's unsupported.) to a 2GHz Core 2 Duo. Prior to the update I was able to watch NetFlix on this machine. I had just installed the SilverLight update (*required* by NetFlix). The CPU utilization is 100% on both cores of my 1.66GHz Core Duo - the video ends up stuttering and pausing, audio drops out frequently. ![]() I notice excessive CPU utilization on my Mac Mini when streaming NetFlix. ![]()
