ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED:
- Video capture module still had complex performance optimization code
- Frame skipping, performance metrics, buffer management causing overhead
- _update_performance_metrics() function adding processing time
- Complex read() method with timing calculations
FIXES APPLIED:
- Removed all performance tracking from VideoCapturer
- Removed frame skipping logic (frame_counter, frame_skip)
- Removed performance metrics (frame_times, current_fps)
- Removed buffer management (frame_buffer, buffer_lock)
- Simplified read() method to original basic version
BACK TO ORIGINAL:
- Simple video capture without any optimization overhead
- Basic read() method - just capture and return frame
- No performance monitoring or adaptive processing
- Clean, fast video capture like original Deep-Live-Cam
EXPECTED RESULT:
- Should restore original excellent FPS performance
- No video capture overhead
- Simple, fast frame reading
- Back to the performance you had with first code
This was the FPS bottleneck - video capture optimization was the culprit!
