Twonky Server CPU usage

Post by Coastie » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:32 am

I have installed Twonky Server 6.0.34 on a Win7 x86 system with 2GB of ram, and a 2ghz dual core CPU.

Twonky server constantly uses 9%-15% CPU while streaming nothing. The library was built days ago with no new changes, and nothing has been streaming for about 2 days, yet Twonky Server continues to use 9%-15% of my CPU.

Why is that?

Could you please send me a screenshot of this? Send to tmm-beta@pv.com.

The only thing that I can think of which could cause might be in the file scanner got stuck on corrupted media.

appreciate the prompt support.

The CPU usage was attributed to the Twonky MediaManager, not the server. Disabling the MediaManager returned the CPU usage to normal, and all files were still accessible to my media players.

Thanks for reporting. This issue has been resolved in TwonkyManager 3.0. CPU usage upon idle is 0% in this update.
