CPU load when using obs browser plugin

[shikhindahikar]

Hi, I wanted to inquire if the CPU usage is optimized and not very CPU hungry for this OBS browser plugin. In my codebase we have this unofficial implementation of the same thing and it is very CPU hungry and occupies almost entire resources of one core. I would like to upgrade my legacy code to the official support, but I was wondering if it will relieve the CPU load or not?

Yes, the official obs-browser plugin uses less CPU than the old plugin. Additionally, we are in the process of rolling out support for full hardware GPU acceleration on Linux. I highly recommend moving away from the legacy plugin that was archived 5 years ago.

Thanks. By GPU accelerated I am hoping you mean CUDA supported? Please do let me know if I can contribute towards it any way.

@shikhindahikar As info: full hardware GPU acceleration is deactivated on nvidia GPU's, because of inconsistent support on their driver and models. But in general, the official obs-browser plugin is more up to date and should perform better.
