Serviio

After I upgraded to Servio 1.2, I've noticed that my computer started to lag a lot in games and other demanding applications. I Only then noticed a few days later that it is because servio constantly starts ffmpeg.exe and eats up all the cpu time it can gets its hands on. Even after I disabled transcoding completely this still happens. Multiple instances of ffmpeg.exe are running and using 50-100% cpu time on a 4 core 8 thread system ! If I kill the instances they come back after a few seconds and continue. The only way I'm able to properly use my computer is to exit the servio console, which also closes the ffmpeg instances. But also stops the servio service which is obviously not a good solution.

I had no such problems before I upgraded to the new version.

Check the log to see if Serviio is adding files. Almost each upgrade requires a partial/full library refresh.

Thanks for the answer.

If that's the case is it possible to tell it to only add new files when the computer is idle?

I don't think so
