[Solved] Media Center hang at 25% cpu after network state change.
« on: January 30, 2011, 10:29:51 pm »
I often have a problem where Media Center hang at 25% CPU (I have a quad core) after a network state change on my laptop. This happen with MC and Media Server service. I have waited for multiple hours but the process keep it's usage.

Examples :
  • I have a network cable connected and running an instance of MC (server or app). Then I connect through wireless and unplug the wire. MC still work(able to play music) but the process hang at 25% CPU.
  • I am running MC, I then put my laptop on sleep. When waking up the process hang at 25% CPU time.

What have you tried to get MC to stop looking for the *lost* network connection?
Stopping the behavior could be as simple as pressing f5 but then again maybe not.

Well since I mostly use the Media server I can only close/reopen the app.

If you're using last.fm, try turning off scrobbling.

Do you have anything folders listed under "Options | Auto-import folders"?

@muchadhesion : Exactly what it was. Strange the thread you provided wasn't shown in the search results when I searched the forum. I guess my search query was wrong. It was exactly my case where my library is on a NAS. Disabling the "auto-import in the background" seem to have fixed the problem. I was quite sure it was disabled before... maybe re-enabled after an update or maybe it was in MC14. Anyway thanks a bunch.

@JimH: Last.fm scrobbling was disabled. But thx tho.
