Activity Monitor

[table681]

Hi,

Not sure which forum section this should be however as I am using a M1 Mac mini decided to post here.

Was doing a handbrake encoding today and the process does not seem to be showing up correctly in activity monitor/at all, please see images, previously on my old intel computer it displayed perfectly fine. Any ideas?

I see Handbrake in both of the pictures you posted.

My bad should have been more clear. Look at the cpu usage on both (it seems its not correctly reporting maybe?) It is encoding thus around 700-800% makes sense however activity monitor is reporting nothing (yet at the bottom its showing idle of 3%) and yes I've scrolled all the way to the top restarted activity monitor multiple times and sorted by cpu percentage.

Try showing all processes.

Where would this be? Also if you mean going to View then ticking all processes that's already done.

There are 21 threads for Handbrake. Of those maybe it's only reporting one of the lower CPU utilized Handbrake threads. What if you run something equivalent to 'top' in command-line?

Would there be a way to view this / Any idea what would cause this to happen?

Run 'top' command in terminal when Handbrake is hammering away. Might be a cosmetic bug in GUI.

Can confirm handbrake is there and it is displaying 700-800% which is what I would expect

Yes that was, what I meant. I wasn't done on your screenshot. Only my processes was shown on that.

I just downloaded handbrake and did a test, the work is carried out in a process called HandBrakeXPCService and it is visible whether my processes or all processes are shown. I Guess you just didn't scroll to the top on the picture in your first post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are using the Rosetta 2 translated from Intel version of Handbrake. Use the M1 version.

Do you have experience, wasn't using it as it was in beta but might be worth a shot.

Ok, I was using arm version (Version 1.4.0-beta.1 (2020111100)). Funny thing is, that even when you tell this version to run rosetta version, the worker process is still native Apple Silicon and shows up in acitivity monitor. But I can confirm that acitivity monitor does not show the work process with the stable version ?‍♂️. Recommend using the beta, unless you encounter problems or use iStat menu/terminal to monitor load. But I recommend you give Apple a feed-back, so they can fix activity monitor (or what is causing it).
