Threads setting - donators V0.81.093

Post by sheppy99 »

I've been optimising my ini files in donators version 0.81.093 and have discovered that despite having thread_count=4, it seems to only use 2 threads in the first logo finding pass and then 1 in the main pass. I'm running a 6700K with an SSD on a 1080i file so it shouldn't be starved of data. The 6700K is a quad core with hyperthreading, so 4 threads is about 50%, 2 threads is around 25%, and 1 thread is around 12.5% CPU use
Is this a bug?

Is this for all recordings?
I see difference depending on the recording format, even between different h.264 recordings

Not sure, the SD files I was working on earlier were scanned fast, so I didn't look at them to see how many threads they were using.

The multi theaded decoding does not work for some recordings.
This is not specific for the latest build but has always been there
Bad luck you ran into this feature
Do not expect a quick solution

OK, Is it relevant that it uses 2 threads in the logo finding phase and just one in the final phase?

This is repeatable behaviour, it seems to drop to 1 thread on the second pass and uses 2 on the first. If I start it with a saved logo it starts on 2 threads and stays that way. Are there possibly 2 bugs here?
Bug 1 - Doesn't use more than 2 threads on some H264 files
Bug 2 - Doesn't use more than 1 thread on some H264 files in the second pass
Difference in speed is 2 threads with debug window minimised around 176FPS,
1 thread around 88FPS
