CPU usage high again #75

Open j9822 opened 4 years ago

j9822 commented 4 years ago

I've had the extension for a long time, however all of a sudden, a few days ago youtube has been using my CPU a lot and its draining my laptops battery.

I have checked to see if extension is working via the "stats for nerds" and this is what I get in codecs "avc1.640028 (137) / mp4.a 40.2 (140)

Like I said, this extension was working for me a long time and I have no clue what happened. I have also checked my laptop for any malware or virus and is none. Also, I only have one other extension running which is Adblock Plus which is not an issue (as I have checked if it is interfering with h264ify and it is not). I have listed the stats of my CPU usage below

Stats: Watching Youtube With H264ify: CPU between 20% to 30% Watching Youtube Without H264ify: CPU between 20% to 30% Not Watching Youtube With H264ify: CPU between 6% to 10%

Please help me as this is really starting to drain my laptop's battery and I just got it replaced, don't want to ruin it
