My hero! Sounds like I should do some scaling for these 5k iMacs. I got away with up to 3840x2400 resolution just fine in my testing on various macbook pros, but I don't have any iMacs. I'm gonna go try one at the Apple Store tomorrow (not buy obviously, I'm way too cheap for that, but just use it for a minute).
EDIT: Yeah, I'm pretty sure 3840x2400 is the max supported by any recent Intel CPUs, and older ones are less. The iMac Pro might be a special case because I hear it uses its GPU for H.264 encoding. Anyway, querying what the max is for a given machine and then scaling to fit it was an easy fix. Hopefully I can get it deployed to the app store soon.
- eridius 9y agoGlad to hear it! Not sure I need a 5120x2880 video anyway. I’d be perfectly happy with half that resolution. I assume higher resolutions have a larger memory footprint. Is the RAM usage still reasonable at 3840x2400?
- eridius 9y agoFinally just relaunched it again after the updates. it's now taking 10% CPU while watching a Twitch stream and 1–3% CPU when not. That's much better than 300% CPU :D
