Few versions back, don't know which one

Reproduction steps

Starting the app seems to be okay cpu usage wise, I don't remember being this many processes, and it seems that sometimes the app will work fine even if i close the process that is taking 40-50% of cpu. Issue begins when something else is taking up some cpu space, for example when starting a game, the cpu usage of the yt music will spike to 40-50%

Expected Behavior

Around 5% cpu usage

Actual Behavior

50% cpu usage

Enabled plugins

AdBlocker, Precise Volume, Shortcuts, Video toggle and Visualizer.

Hmm, I was going on around different options, and I seem to have found a temp solution. When I have tray set as 'Enabled and hide app' bug occurs, I tried changing it to 'Enabled and show app' and it seems to have worked. Now overall processes are chilling around 1-2 % with highest being around 10 %.

PS: I aslo enabled Exponentional Volume so that might have been the fix, I'm not sure.

@JellyBrick Hey, I was wrong, seems it has to be something with visualizer plugin, I have the plugin enabled, even tho I have video disabled. I confirmed it.

This is with visualizer on:

This is with visualizer plugin disabled:

PS: Keep in mind that cpu usage is normal when the app is in the background, but I have it open on my second monitor while gaming. I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour, I have i7-8700k so it shouldn't use over 10% even if I have visualizer plugin enabled, yet its utilizing over 50% of cpu.

@supertrio17 Which type of visualizer are you using?

I had butterchurn enabled, but like I said, I never saw it because my video is always disabled.
