Mezzmo was 30% cpu now it's 100% and playback suffers?

Well, I had it all working just fine bout a month ago, went on a long vacation, and now it seems mezzmo is 99% cpu usage on any transcode thus the playback at the sam c550 is horrid. Nothing has changed, except adding more movies to the server? I guess I'm at a loss.

server:
i3 540
tons of ram
7200 rpm drives
gig connection
lossless .mkv containers using MakeMKV

tv:
samsung c550
gig connection (100 based port on tv though)

network:
cat6 throughout
everything hooked directly to gig switch
asus nt16 with dd-wrt as the router

Any ideas?

Did you update Mezzmo after coming back? Also, please check that the device profile is still set correctly in Media Devices dialog.

Can you please post FFmpeg information on one of those files (in Mezzmo right-click on the file and use the "Get FFmpeg Information" command). I'm sure we'll work it out.

Can you please reset the Advanced tab back to defaults - those are not meant to be changed, unless there's a specific reason to do so. Turning off "deliver partially supported" files means that files will never be remuxed and will always go through the full transcoding - that's why you're getting such high CPU usage.

With the file above, does it play if you turn transcoding off?

I was advised by staff to change the advanced settings because the tv was having no luck playing lossless audio which i use in all of my rips

Ok, that affects all files. Can you please post FFmpeg info on that lossless audio file?

That ffmpeg info up top is a truehd audio rip.

Sorry, I thought that you meant just music files.

That file should be transcoded as-is without any changes to the Advanced tab. Did you send in the transcoding logs? If you have, do you have a support case number so that I could look it up?

I will make one as soon as i get a chance. in the middle of upgrading all the hdds to 3tb drives right now.. what an arduous task :(

Sure. Do you have a RAID or just individual drives?
