What kind of hardware are you running it on?

What exactly happens? It starts out fine, but after (several) hours it slowly slows down or does it suddenly drop a lot in speed? How does the video play exactly? Good sounds with stuttering video or even delayed video?

I've seen similar issues on my HD4400 IGP, where my IGP simply couldn't keep up with the hardware based video decoding, and switched to software in stead. I haven't been able to figure out yet why it happened, though running my IGP at a slightly higher speed helped. Is there a chance your computer switches from your GT to IGP by chance?

By default it's on auto; you could force Windows to always use your GT for RetroFE via the program settings (right click on the icon) to see if that makes a difference.

Same here. Odd. Check tour graphics settings then. Perhaps there’s a setting there to always use nvidia.

It seems I have similar issues on my Linux machine, so I'll see if I can figure out what the issue is. It appears to have to do with Intel's video decoding, but I'll need to look deeper.

If it helps ... I have tested this issue on a number of systems with different Intel IGPs (4 series i5 to 8 series i7) and Windows 10 1903/1909. All exhibit the video playback issue after about an hour. This then progressively gets worse until the video is playing at around 1 fps.  The only fix is to exit and restart the app.

The issue does not appear on my AMD RX570.

It appears to be an issue with the Intel chipset, which worries me. I'm not sure I can fix this to be honest.
