    Default High CPU utilization

    Running 2.17 on Windows 2003 server.
    Mezzmo process is very often high and I dont mean while watching a movie. It might stay at 50% cpu util until the process is restarted.

    The other day it was sitting at 100% and I had not used the media server for a day or two.

    Any suggestion on where to start looking here?

    If it's not transcoding anything, then the server should not use that much CPU of course (check Task Manager, with "Show Processes from all users" to see if any "ffmpeg.exe" are running).

    It is also possible that it's processing thumbnails or other metadata - if you've added lots of files using Mezzmo and then quit the GUI, the server will take over the system tasks of collecting thumbnails, artwork, etc...

    Ffmpeg.exe is not running.
    Mezzemo is not being used right now but the cpu util from mezzmediamoserver.exe is running around 45-50%. Memory usage is constant at 260Mb or so.
    When I restart the service util will drop to 0 and memory usage is 12mb

    It happens without me adding anything.

    Thank you for the additional information - it's really strange and I would really like to reproduce it here and get it fixed, but haven't had much luck so far unfortunately. We'll be keeping an eye for this during our testing and once this happens, we'll get it fixed.

    One other question - is Mezzmo GUI running at this time? If it is, is it minimized or not? Have you noticed any relation between the two?

    Restarted the service last night.
    the GUI was running.
    Watched a few minutes of several videos for testing.
    Memory normal and cpu seemed low.
    This morning the memory is went from 26mb to 73mb and cpu util was about 45-50%
    Killed the GUI.
    Memory the same but util is jumping all over from 0 to 45%.

    Hello,
    today i arrived home @ 2100 and both cpu's were maxed out @ 99%, I wasn't doing any transcoding or getting any files. Last time I used the program was @ 0900
    I've got the database maintenance scheduled for 0300. The application was minimized and I was unable to maximize it. I Just killed it.
    Mezzmoserver was running at about 1-2%.
    Memory for mezzmo was about 40mb... and server was about 8mb
    No ffmpeg was runing

    Thanks for letting us know! We'll try to reproduce this here and I'll post back with our findings, or if we need some more details. Does it feel like Maintenance would be taking up so much CPU? If you turn off schedule maintenance, does the same happen?

    Let me know how that goes without maintenance. It'd be great if we could narrow it down, because we haven't reproduced it here yet.
