Extremely high cpu usage, low streaming quality after PMS April updates

Hi,

simple, critical problem: Ever since the April updates of PMS I encounter massive regression in streaming quality. I'm talking about the very same files that used to work with Plex; about files that play flawlessly on my Mac using VLC or Movist.

Since I have checked automatic updates I am not totally sure which of the April updates initiated the problems: PMS 0.9.16.4, 0.9.16.5, 0.9.16.6?

I have tried to downgrade to 0.9.16.3, which I am very very sure worked flawlessly before -- but somehow the downgrade has no effect in bringing back normal streaming behavior and quality.

I am talking about massive (300%, basically maxed out) CPU load (Core i7, 1,7 GHz, Macbook Air mid 2013; 8 gb RAM; streaming to a Google Chromecast late 2015 generation) and a brutally pixelated picture.

Again, my Plex setup used to work perfectly.

Any ideas? Other components that get silently updated?

Thanks very much for any help.

Best,

Alain
