Playing music causes high CPU and GPU load

Playing Music in Plex Media Player causes my GPU to spike, and my fans to start up, as long as I don’t maximise the player.

This is with Player not maximized:

And here’s the same song playing with Player maximized in Plex Media Player - notice almost 0% GPU and about 1/3 of the CPU usage compared to above:

Server Version#: 1.14.1.5488
Player Version#: 3.77.2

Hi @brownpill will you please file an issue on our tracker? No need to include logs or media information. Tracker: GitHub - plexinc/plex-media-player: Next generation Plex Desktop/Embedded Client

Knowing your version of macOS and how you displayed the GPU graphs would be great.

BTW, Ani DiFranco :heart:

I was away for a while, playing with Emby, its far superior metadata engine, and its inferior general UI.
If I file an issue over on github, do I have to go through the entire «make a movie, explain in every smallest detail what’s happening» rigmarole?

Edit: done.
