After Updating to BI 4.0.2.1 x64, my CPU usage went from a Blue Iris reported average of 38% to 73%. I realize that this latest update includes better CPU usage reporting, but I don't THINK the increase is just a reporting issue. My cooling fan is running loud and steady, whereas it did not before the update.

Is anyone else getting an increase with this latest update?

EDIT: SOLVED!
Sorry everyone, the increase was NOT Blue Iris. Freemake Video Downloader, a program I use to download youtube videos, had self launched a service. (that is what I get for using a free program). I found it in task manager as a subset under something with the name LIB Manager (or close to that name, I killed it and removed the software).

After killing that process, Blue Iris is reporting 30% usage !

Not doubled but an increase of about 15 to 20%

And it appears to be an actual increase in CPU cycles.

Again my apologies.

ServiceXP, I wish you luck with your increase. I have no advice other than check your task manager for a contributing culprit, but my fix is probably a one off.

For me it's definitely BI, I don't remembering making any changes but will need to look around. I do love the new pause method Ken implemented. It really allows me to automate BI with Vera better.


Code:
//This pauses the OFL camera for 30 seconds.
luup.inet.wget("[URL="http://192.168.1.75:81/admin?camera=ORU&pause=30&user=XXXXX&pw=XXXXXXXXX"]http://192.168.1.75:81/admin?camera=OFL&pause=1&user=XXXXX&pw=XXXXXXXXX[/URL]")
I will add that for 4.0.2

pause=n

beginning with indefinitely=-1, no=0 .... add 15 minutes is 10.

#define ID_PAUSED_INDEFINITELY 32890
#define ID_PAUSED_NO 32891
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD30SECONDS 32892
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD5MIN 32893
#define ID_PAUSED_ADDHALFHOUR 32894
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD1HOUR 32895
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD2HOUR 32896
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD3HOUR 32897
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD5HOUR 32898
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD10HOUR 32899
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD24HOUR 32900
#define ID_PAUSED_ADD15MIN 32901

This matches the way the client apps send the commands ... sorry it's not an integer number of minutes right now.
