TwonkyServer 6.0.1 - Still slow rescan...

Post by D034599 » Thu Aug 12, 2010 3:23 pm

Hi there,

I have a small question for our experts here. Since some months I am trying to get my Windows Home Server setup running in a way that I do not have to constantly monitor the server. Unfortunately Twonky is one of the components which basically causes me to check the server very frequently.
Even with the newest version I have some issues
1.) Twonky starts a rescan after every restart and sometimes even after waking up from standby - Is there any reason behind that? This behaviour is really causing me a lot of trouble because of issue 2.) -->
2.) The Rescan of my database (140.000 MP3s, 50.000 HighRes DSLR Pics, 4000 HD-Cam Videos) takes ages. It is running pretty well until 70.000 MP3s scanned and is dramatically slowing down afterwards. I can get up to the 70.000 in 1 hour (which is still pretty long for a plain rescan) and then it takes another 24 hours to finalize as I get only 0,5 files scanned per second. Does anybody have any clue why this takes that long?
3.) The rescan is taking basically all my system resources so that my Home server is not functional anymore. My Acer H340 has an atom processor (1,6 GHz I believe) and 2 GB of Ram, which sounds sufficient to me. TwonkyMediaServer.exe is taking almost all CPU (>50% on each core) and in total seems to be a heavy process
-->
CPU: 50%, RAM: 93 MB with 130000 scanned MP3s at the moment max memory was 170 MB and I have a constantly growing page-error count of 890.000 Any idea if this is normal?

Thanks in advance for any hints and best regards,
Dennis :-)
