WCS System Load climbs to 100% apon opening #40
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. simply run/open the program
2.
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WebCamStudio for GNU/Linux 0.57 beta 2 (Build:140)
Please provide any additional information below.
the previous version from the repositories never had this issue and obviously
once the program reaches 100% it effects streaming by making the framerate very
choppy, rather than a smooth 30fps
my hardware performance isnt even close to being effected while runing this
program, none of my quad core processors are even past the 25% mark while
running WCS and i have 4 gigs of RAM which idles around 500mb even with WCS
running.
so this is clearly a bug
another note, not sure why, but WCS doesnt even show up in my list of processes
running, i see Java which i know is used for WCS but even that process is only
using about 25%
im thinking the fact there are 2 mini "preview" windows on the WCS control
panel which cant be disabled is possibly causing unnecessary usage, even though
as i stated the program jumps to 100% even without actually running any streams
