sbs taking 50% of CPU all the time!

[EB1000]

Hello

I"m running Windows 7 32bit with SMS 7.7 on a very fast machine. I noticed once SBS is started, it takes about 50% of the CPU load. Does anyone have a clue what can cause this? This is a new installation of both OS (clean) and SBS. I tried uninstall and reinstall but it did not resolve the issue.

Thanks

has it finished it's initial scan of your music files ?

It tries to scan as fast as possible after that it will use a tiny fraction of your cpu.

It seems to be scanning for hours and not finishing. I have about 2TB of flac files. Is that normal? or is the scanning process hung?

not normally on a very fast machine ? Does it progress the web-UI settings and then the info page .
it can be " normal "

In the basic settings have you anything but music selected , don't select pictures for you music folder for example .

Check that the good folks at logitech have not tried to " help " you by preselecting some video or picture folders for you, also in the basic
settings .

Video and picture scanning is extraordinary sloooow , this is for the dlna server part introduced by 7.7LMS
so itcan serve pictures and video ( fornthe now dead revue ).

If this is of no interest abort scan and set up a music only folder and start a new " clear and rescan everything ".

for some bizarre reason scanning unc paths is slower ?

scanning externally mounted network drives can be much slower, then you server is not the bottleneck.

a conected USB drive is ok, but locla drives is the fastest.
