High temp and use of CPU on MPV - SOLVED

[ciciolina]

Hi, i found this issue after install the application and run a video from youtube, my CPU consume more power and the temp jumps from 44-50c to 66-69c, im pretty sure its the resolution of the video and after look straw-viewer --tricks i found the config file: /home/c/.config/straw-viewer/straw-viewer.conf make a $sudo nano and search for the resolution line and found it resolution => "best", after change "best" to "720p" and save the change my CPU and temp issue was solved.

Feel free to change this value to the resolution you like, if you have the same issue try 720p or low and you will find this works like a charm, consume less resources like mpsyt after the change.

Thank you for this amazing application, its beautiful!!!

PD. Im using a Thinkpad T440, Arch rolling release, KDE and last version of MPV, nvidia disabled (running with Intel).

Also setting hfr => 0, will help with slow GPUs when resolution is set to 1080p or higher.

Additionally, prefer_mp4 => 1, can also help with the performance if the GPU has a built-in MP4 (AVC) decoder.

I apply your tip and works much better (i left the 720px and your fix too), i know its not the space, but i have some issues to short the result list, i change maxResults => 10, and results_fixed_width => 10, and the list still remain on 20 (default), i dont know how overwrite this. Im using cli application, Thank you!!!
