I have 7 cameras connected to Blue Iris recording 24/7. Using this tutorial I have them all displaying on a tab in Lovelace. I’m pulling the streams from Blue Iris rather than the cameras themselves. When I view the tab with the 7 streams it takes about 1-2 seconds to load up the streams and everything works as it should. When I move to another tab or close my browser/app it looks like the streams keeps running for anywhere from 5-15 minutes. Is this configurable anywhere? I ask because I can noticeably see the Pi4 temperature go up close to 10 degrees and the CPU usage on the Blue Iris PC goes from about 20% to 75%. If I can configure the streams to close something like 10 seconds after I leave the tab that would be ideal.
