Re: Motion 4.2.2 vs 4.1.1 CPU usage (rmbusy) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 12:17:03 -0700 From: rmbusy <rmbusy+mot...@gmail.com> To: motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Motion-user] Motion 4.2.2 vs 4.1.1 CPU usage Message-ID: <386ed9a9-27fd-55c4-12b2-965f84782...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" I know it's been awhile, but I finally have some useful information to share on this topic. After a lot of trial and error, I found 2 things contributing to my higher CPU usage.? First is the setting of minimum_frame_time in the motion.conf file.? I discovered that previously I had this value set to 2, instead of the default of disabled.? Changing it to 2 effectively lowered the runtime CPU utilization back to around where it was previously with 4.1.1.? Whether or not this is a good setting to have is still undecided. The second issue, which seems to be the real problem for me, is the new web interface.? When I connect to the 4.2.2 web interface with a remote web browser (local machine is headless), the CPU usage jumps from where ever it is (150% to 200%) to the max of 400%.? After that, the page becomes mostly non-responsive, and causes the browser to use a lot of CPU on the remote machine. Also, with the new interface, it only shows the first 6 active cameras on the main page (instead of the 8 I have configured).? If one or more of the first 6 are not available (cameras haven't responded yet at startup), then I'll see place holders for them, and the remaining 7th and possibly 8th camera will be shown. Is there a way to revert back to the 4.1.1 web server in 4.2.2 for testing?? It looks like it was dropped from the build, but I haven't dug into that too deeply yet. -- Rob.
