Everything was just fine and my higher frame rate live streams were as smooth as water flowing. The sub streams were even respectable in their own right -- until I updated to 5.6.5.9 yesterday.
I'd been running nicely with 5.5.8.2 which I've remained with faithfully since my last attempted upgrade to 5.5.9.6 back in August. I experienced major stability problems with my setup for whatever reason(s) and I wasted no time trying to figure it out. Just crossed my fingers and rolled back to 5.5.8.2 and had been rock solid since -- and I've been very happy with the overall performance of my setup.
So yesterday was the day I thought it would probably be a good idea to try bringing things up to date..., well..., just because? The upgrade went smoothly with no obvious hitches, but after the restart and everything was fired back up I immediately noticed pulsing in my normal 12 cam live stream view on a 24" display (which doesn't exactly provide exceptional detail with that view in the first place). Solo'd a couple cams and the same thing, only larger. Main streams, sub streams, 2MP, 5MP, didn't matter. The pulses seemed to clearly be at my two I-frame intervals of one and two seconds corresponding with the cameras set up as such. I realize you can sorta see the key frame effect in a clear hi-res stream, but It literally makes a clean static view look like a 1 or 2fps stream.
I really had no inclination to spend all night pissing up a rope trying to troubleshoot it beyond toggling some settings and slamming the hood a few times. I figured reverting to the previous version would get me back to normal, but the issue is still present even after doing so. I've killed encoding completely with no change. Restarted all cameras. Stopped and restarted BI. Rebooted. Did my normal monthly system maintenance routine including a Windows update. Did all the usual stuff one would normally try under the circumstances. Still pecking at it for possible common clues, but pretty much blind in the dark at this point.
As usual, I'm at your mercy for any suggestions or enlightenment that may remedy the situation -- short of a registry enema and starting from scratch.
TIA, gang
