Why does bobrtc use cpu resources when i am not in a call?

Scams
1

I’ve noticed 50-100% usage on my cpu when i have bobrtc open but not in any calls. This happens whether i have 1 tab open or 10+.

iim fairly certain is not the browser. i made sure before i made this post. this happens on chrome and firefox. both vanilla installs. try it yourself.

@johnredcorn#116350 Yea, obviously it does. It’s almost like you are going to watch a YouTube Video and then you leave it playing in the background. You can’t expect it to use no CPU.

im not in any calls when this happens and there are no videos that play in bobrtc that i know of. i manually disconnect all my calls and allow my machine to idle yet after some time my cpu usage spikes to 100% and stays here for some time or until i close the broswer. try it yourself.

This doesn’t happen on my desktop or laptop. However, I only run linux and don’t run Windows.

I suspect the cause is having to do with when websockets are getting dropped or disconnected. There is a retry function that attempts to get them back online again. Doing Websockets over double-proxy as we’re doing is quite difficult, it’s amazing that it works at all.
