High CPU usage #134

Closed JonnyThree closed 2 years ago

JonnyThree commented 2 years ago

Hello i have found this tool and i think it's very well concepted, but i have some high cpu usage (around 25-30% on a old xeon e5450) by the main executable "media-downloader.exe" when i download hls-dash streams. I'm on Windows 7, and other tools doesnt have same high cpu usage when i try to download same stream. Is this a bug?

mhogomchungu commented 2 years ago

It should make no different what stream is getting downloaded since all the effort on Media Downloader side is getting yt-dlp output and process it for displaying in its GUI.

Can you download something else and observe if the CPU is the same or not.

JonnyThree commented 2 years ago

with other tools i dont have high cpu usage downloading the same dash stream, so i think the problem is related to media-downloader gui. also the other uses yt-dlp. i am not reporting the package name of the other tool only for preserving the publishing respect of this great package. p.s.: sorry for my bad english...

I have reworked how logs are processed and kept and performance should improve.

Closing this one as fixed.

Are you using basic downloader tab or batch downloader tab?

Try again with batch downloader tab if you are using basic downloader tab.

In the new version the high cpu usage problem is not present, thanks so much for your work. sorry for my answer that is coming a little late
