Hello,

i always get a zombie proccess after starting the media server. (TwonkyMedia server 5.x)
On an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Linux server.

root 4704 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 18:03 0:00 [mediafusion-int] <defunct>

after that, it doesnt update the database anymore.

After an manual start it creats a logfile in /tmp/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt

with the following content:
18:03:39:343 views_add_or_update_object(*ppObject,pOldObject) failed
File: ../../../server/common/upnp_database_items.c

I hope someone has a solution.
Thanks

The Mediafusion zombie is a know issue (it's mentioned in the release notes)

"MediaFusion plugin leaves a zombie process on Linux (but will be removed on next MF plugin start)"

I don't think it's related to your problems....
