UI3 popups - making them automatically disappear?

Is there a setting to make the UI3 popups go away automatically? I have one that says "Video delay has exceeded 60 seconds..." and I have to manually dismiss it on my one FireTV often at times. Sometimes others fade away, but this one doesn't. I've looked in the interface settings but didn't see an obvious setting to change. Also, strange that I'm seeing this delay warning now as I've never had it on this particular device - which is hard wired to my network. Only thing I changed with it was having 7 cams displayed instead of 4 recently. Thanks.
 
This one, right?

Messages like these are called "toasts" and almost all of the ones UI3 shows are coded to disappear on their own. This particular one is coded for only 3 seconds. Normally they will only stay longer than the coded time if you mouse over them.

Yes! That one. Strange thing is that one of those stays and another exactly same one will appear above it and then disappear but one of those is constantly staying on untill I fire up the BT keyboard to dismiss it on the FireTV... again only started recently. I'll check my hovermouse settings to see if the mouse is lingering in that spot.
 
The browser could be detecting the message and automatically mousing to it or something. There's no telling what a web browser might try to do in for the sake of accessibility.

Anyway I would be more concerned with why this is starting to happen. Did you customize your group camera stream to be particularly high resolution or frame rate or something? Or is your BI server maxed on on CPU or memory?

I did "tweak" a bunch of settings and on my main BI console, my CPU is steady at 70%, down from 90'ish. In the "Webserver" - thats for the UI3? - I lowered quality down to 40% (was at 100% but you kindly told me that it was a crazy setting LOL - and have my max bitrate at 2048 (capped). Only my one FireTV does this and I have 3 of them running the UI3 at home pretty much 24/7. This particular FireTV is hardwired and the others are Wifi, which is strange in itself that the hardwired one has issues. I have a robust Ubiquiti network so I don't think I have any bottlenecks.

The FireTV hasn't done this now since I moved the location of the Hovermouse cursor from that toast location - thanks for the tip!
