Whether it be IPTV, BBC iPlayer or YouTube live streams (through addons), they all just max out my CPU (and fans, running at 6000+ RPM) within 30 seconds of starting. The fan can go from not spinning at all to max 6K RPM within seconds of opening a stream.
Using a 2015 13" Retina Macbook Pro with 2.9GHz i5 (I5-5287U). The strangest thing is that on my older 2011 2.4GHz 13" Macbook Pro, streams ran fine using about 30% CPU (and with the fans running about 2500RPM) doing the exact same thing. Streaming files hosted online that aren't live video don't use a fraction of the CPU either.
I can also easily have 4 livestreams open on Chrome without using up much CPU at all. So what's the problem?
