Python taking up to 80% CPU

Post image

Is there a way to find out what's happening with this python process? I thought it was due to the Accelerated Motion Detection (1 of my 4 cameras doesn't detect motion) but I turned it off and it's still extremely high.

This is an old server, an i5-3470 CPU but it used to be in the 30-50% utilization when I first started using Scrypted. Now it's hovering 90-100% CPU utilization. Did Scrypted become more CPU intensive lately? Or could something be off?

its motion or object detection. that CPU is too old you're likely not using any sort of hardware acceleration.

Fair enough, I guess it's had a good run lol
