High cpu usage watching youtube

@l33t4opera I can't say for sure, but I'd say that I don't see much difference when I compare the same video (and same resolution) in Chrome/Edge vs Opera with muted tab.

As I remember it the indicator was causing a much more CPU use than 40%
Yeah, Opera was fixed to lower the CPU usage. But, it can still be high enough (as much as 17% in some cases) to cause performance issues.
DNA-82936 is an unresolved bug for this to make things even better. However, users ultimately want an option to disable the thing completely.

marjang last edited by marjang@l33t4opera I tried in v.76 and it is the same with your mentioned flags enabled or disabled. Cpu power goes to about +40% when the sound favicon on a tab is animated. Causing cpu temperature rise over acceptable values.
My "solution" is to watch videos in fullscreen or hover mouse cursor over tab.
Spec: win8.1, fanless cpu i5 4570T, internal gpu.

l33t4opera last edited by l33t4opera@marjang I see. Start watching a video, and check two things:
1. Right click on it, select "Stats for nerds", and see which codec it displays "avc" (h.264), vp9 or any other,
2. Open "chrome:media-internals", and click on the item below "Recent Players" which contains "kPlay", press "Ctrl+F" and search for "videodecodername". What it shows on the right of it, "FFmpeg..." or something else? -

@marjang Ah, so that could be also the cause of some additional using of the CPU.
Can you install the h264ify extension, and check if the browser uses less CPU resources when you replaying videos?
(you can see that it forces replaying videos with H.264 codec, when it displays "avc1... /mp4a..." under "Stats for nerds")
You can install the extension under a fresh profile, if you don't want to clutter the current one as follows:
"Path\to\launcher.exe" --user-data-dir=\Path\to\writable_dir\fresh_profile". -

@l33t4opera Interesting, it definitely is better with the extension. Animated icon raises cpu for about 25% now.

@marjang Nice, so at least that helped to reduce the CPU use in your case
;-)
By the way: it should now also use less CPU resources on most of the other website where you watch videos, not only on YT.What it's displaying now in "chrome:media-internals" on the right of "videodecodername" ?

@andrew84 That's good, so it looks like it's hardware accelerated

If i disable "Hardware-accelerated video decode" it changes to "WMFVideoDecoder". -

@marjang What is the codec?
Youtube: avc1 / mp4a

Interesting flag in the latest Dev build
#disable-media-indicator-in-power-save-modeI think it should be not simply disabled (because no indication at all in this case) but changed to static and it should work not only in power save mode.
Maybe the option must in browser Settings in user interface section, some 'disable media indicator animation' toggle.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My issue solved in latest dev build with this!
