I just upgraded to 5.1 to see if it wouldsolve another problem and now my server CPU utilization is 99%
It's still scanning/rebuilding the database, but shouldn't it pace itself a little more? my poor little server is overheating.
Is this expected or a bug?

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
I take it back, a few minutes after the server started, it jumped to 99% CPU

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
interestingly, disk activity appears to have stopped as soon as the CPU utilization got to 100% but the "last database change" field in the web interface changes every time I refresh, is it "post processing" a cache or something?

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
I was monitoring the log file (through tail -f) at the same time the server was starting and it starts normal enough, with in and out messages about scanning directories, then I see dozens of a message which I unfortunately lost when I erased the log file (I reverted to 5.0, 5.1 just doesn't work for me), something like upnp_event_<something>_changed (1) whever the log shows these (many back to back) the CPU utilization jumps to 100%.
At first it does it only a second at a time, ever 10s or so, then eventually it does it more and more until you have a few dozen of those message between each scan message.
It's liek another thread is doing something at 100% utilization so the scanning speed gets down to a crawl and CPU utilization skyrockets.
for now completely deleted /usr/local/twonkymedia and /var/twonkymedia and reinstalled 5.0.

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
Same for me!
As in the RC3 allready in the 5.1.1 final the CPU-load all the sudden is sky-rocketing to 100%.
In addition I can't get the Web-interface to work at all.
I'm back to 5.0.68 which works just flawless .....
I'm running this on an OpenFiler NAS with an Atom330 CPU ....

Hi All,
First post on the forum
I had the same problem moving from 5.1 to 5.1.1. I stopped the server, removed (backed up) /var/twonkymedia and restarted the server.
After a reconfigure of the settings, and a rescan, my cpu started to behave.

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
That is a reall interesting hint !
Tried it - and - working!
All the issues I had seem to be gone. Too bad Twonky is not adding that to their installation-hints.
THANKS !

It's pretty standard when things don't work, delete the settings and start again. It's common troubleshooting for Linux Mac and Windows alike...cds wrote:That is a reall interesting hint !

It's also very likely the suggestions in this Sticky would have also fixed the problem. (as /var is where the database is stored)

Re: 5.1: 99% CPU utilization
Well,
i wouldn't really call it 'standard' that you manually have to delete some files/folders to make a SW work - especially if this SW contains functionality to set everything to factory-defaults, recreate the DB and so on.
