CPU runs at times 80-90%

I am testing Twonky Media Server before I buy. But have noticed an issue. At times the twonkymediaserver.exe runs at 80-90% CPU usage for some unknown reason.

If I restart the server all seems ok. But today I have had to do the 4 times.

Tversity does not cause this problem.

I am running Win XP Pro with and AMD Athhalon 1800 (1.5GHZ)

Any ideas why this happens???

Because it's scanning your media for metadata. If it's sticking, then it's usually because you have a corrupted file.

Easiest way to find the file, is switch on logging, rebuild the database, and see where it gets stuck...
