Title: Very high processor activity & no analyzing the audio files
Post by: LETRA on October 23, 2014, 08:49:59 pm

Hello. I'm fighting with the Linux version as I would like to accomplish that was my main multimedia application. The problem is that I have a very high processor activity ((75%). And the audio Processing Analyzed and built Thumbnails stop at 13% and 7% respectively. I just added a folder with about 300 flac albums. I think it can be a typical problem with permissions. Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 Intel ® Core ™ 2 Duo CPU E7500 2.93GHz @ × 2. Ram: 12 GB. Graphic card: GeForce GT 330M / PCIe / SSE2. Model: Sony Vaio VPCL 13M

I've been researching and the important thing is that the media library is on an external hard drive NFTS. Furthermore it was configured for Plex MediaServer following this guide: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288606-Mounting-NTFS-Drives-on-Linux The key is that Plex recommends changing the owner and group of external disk with

Code: [Select]

sudo chown -R plex:plex /dir/disk.

This is a compatibility issue for JRiver. But ntfs-config¹ tool

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config && gksu ntfs-config

I think I could fix it. While still a high processor activity (I guess while analyzing audio and builds thumbnails)

I still have the same problem. I disabled build thumbnails & analyze audio. And when it starts to play a flac file processor activity grows from 4% to 65%.

I made a recursive chmod to executable files because it appeared to be a disc that has been connected to Windows 8:

Code: [Select]

sudo find /path -type f -exec chmod XXX {} \;

And I made sure the permissions on folders and files. However I can't find the fault and while the program is unusable.

Any help?

There was a CPU usage bug fixed in the very latest build (.27); have you tried the new build?
