 * Hello,
 * Something really weird happened today. All of a sudden my website started working
   very slowly (both in the frontend and backend). After a lot of investigating 
   the only solution was to disable VideoWhisper Live Streaming. With it on (currently
   on) the loading time increases about 5 times no matter what it does (even a simple
   ajax call takes 15seconds).
 * Before this happened i kept getting notifications
    Fatal error: Allowed memory
   size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/
   vhosts/phpdudes.com/appmysoul.com/wp-includes/meta.php on line 841
 * increasing the memory to 256MB solved it but it’s running slow.
 * Did this happen to anyone else? Can someone recommend a solution to this?
 * Regards,
    George

 * Advanced functionality (live streaming, transcoding, live interactions) involves
   higher hosting resource requirements compared to plain blogs.
 * If site is on a developer plan or VPS, we recommend upgrading. These plans are
   optimised for such usage:

   [https://videowhisper.com/?p=Dedicated+Servers](https://videowhisper.com/?p=Dedicated+Servers)
 * Exact usage depends on each setup and feature configuration.
 * Features that usually involve higher resource usage include transcoding of live
   streams for HLS delivery (you can disable or reduce streaming bitrate to reduce
   CPU and memory load), AJAX calls for online session monitoring time (you could
   increase time between calls), archiving live streams (involve disk usage when
   enabled).
    Parameters for each interface can be configured as documented at: 
   [https://videowhisper.com/?p=PHP+Live+Streaming#integrate](https://videowhisper.com/?p=PHP+Live+Streaming#integrate)
   statusInterval
 * PS: Referenced script meta.php is not part of this plugin and line 841 refers
   to caching meta data. You can review your database, posts and take a look at 
   meta data. Maybe there’s some big meta data or duplicates saved for certain post
   types.
