I switched from triggered recording to continuous, and now when I attempt to view any but the most recent alerts in UI3, I get the orange clock symbol in the top right. It seems to be pegging out the server's CPU at 100%. Afterwards, I can't even reopen the UI3 website until I restart the Blue Iris service or the server itself. I record direct to disk and use Intel GPU accelerated decoding. The machine is fairly beefy. It's an i7-8559U with 8GB of RAM and SSD storage. Any suggestions?
Continuous recording breaks UI3 alert playback

If you are recording to MP4, change it to BVR. MP4 is very poorly supported in BI, and can cause obscene CPU usage during remote playback.
I've been using BVR since it was the default. Is there anything special that needs to be configured to use continuous recordings with alerts?
Not that I can think of. With the information given, I have no idea what else could be causing it.
