    100% processor

    What are the shortcuts you are referring to ?



    I have no mount point on the folder structure. There is just a main folder
    with each album in a sub folder.

    Yes, I do have some ideas. Check your massive library for shortcuts.
    Redundant shortcuts would create a loop as you described eating up CPU
    cycles.

    I to have the exact same issue, cpu 100% for hours. In fact it never seems
    to stop.



    I do have a large library 20,000 songs. Windows 2003 1GB RAM, 3.0GHz CPU.



    When the server is first re-booted the scan seem to start and slim.exe take
    100% cpu and keeps going. Playing a song is almost impossible as it just
    stalls all the time.

    After leaving the server running for 3 hrs at least, I stopped the slim
    service from the command line and re-started it the cpu spiked at 90-100%
    for a few minutes then drop to virtually nothing.



    This seems to work every time I re-start the server.



    I have a virus scanner on my server running "on- demand scanning" so I can
    see the files the slim server is accessing. I did notice the server seems to
    be going around in a loop! In that the same file is getting accessed more
    than once.

    It seems to be scanning all the songs, then starting again.



    Any ideas... nick

    Since 5.3.1 I cannot get slim running without the processor running at 100%.
    It seems to be rebuilding the cache. This has not been a problem on any
    other prior version for me. It seems to run for a few seconds and then
    effectively jams the PC at 100%. I have tried this with debug/log files on
    and also by watching the slimserver.db size. It randomly stops at different
    places (Windows XP).



    Has anybody else seen this?
