What is mediawindecoder_converter in Stats_GPU?

“mediawindecoder_converter” is showing up in the stats_gpu with the highest value with an average of 10ms (?).
Google has not single result with this term used. Any Idea what it is?

I actually don’t really know what it is. I think I am able to narrow it down based on the questions below:

  • Are you using anything related to Media Framework?
  • Are you decoding or encoding any clips?
  • Are you rendering a video in your project?
  • Are you showing a video in your project?

Oh, I am playing a video on the loading screen. Removing the video removes “mediawindecoder_converter”. So I guess its not unloading properly after loading is complete, even though the widget the video is playing in no longer exists.

I think that is the case then. Perhaps there is a way to destroy or unload the video from memory once it has been shown. I don’t know how to do it properly though. Please let me know if you figure it out! :slight_smile:
