So with the CEF performance being a CPU hog, even with hardware acceleration - what I've been able to do is have a ghost monitor with chrome fullscreen showing animated streamelements and then capturing the display. This has taken my CPU usage from 11% down to 1% in OBS on an 8700k (while idle) - and there is negligible impact on Chrome which is already running.
I had to physically plug in another cable to the graphics card and connect it to the monitor to set up this "ghost display". A plugin that would be able to change the URL on the chrome window on this ghost display would be amazing - and a great replacement for the current browser plugin when using animated scenes.
I don't know C or C++.
I could probably do it all just with a URL that I hit with the browser extension, and have the scene loaded in an iframe on the ghost display - with the top level constantly checking if a new scene is needed but I haven't written software for years.
Someone could whip this up in an hour I'd bet, there aren't many moving parts - not sure what the drawbacks might be - perhaps CORS or something if the theme is embedded in an iframe - but wouldn't be an issue if it could be launched and URL changed with a C plugin.
Thoughts?
