I'm running LMS on a QNAP-119 ARM-based 1.2GHz processor, and see that the cpu load is briefly very high (90%) when I first start playing a live HLS stream using Triode's new plugin; it then drops to around 5% and cycles between 5-60%. For a live HLS stream using the PlayHLS plugin and ffmpeg, the cpu load behaviour is similar. So it's not so much that the new plugin is flaky, but the processing demands for the HLS streams (by whichever route) are putting strain on the hardware. But one or other of HLS.pm or ffmpeg might work better depending on the system, so maybe Triode could enable an option whereby users choose? Also, given that the RTMP listen again streams are still available, an option to choose between them and HLS?
