Cpu 99%

[darkside]

Why is it that when I go and make changes to the imported video directory..adding movies for example Sage goes to 99% for hours and hours.

I think it's rebuilding the library of where files are stored but why can't it just index them in a more effecient way? This also happens when I add my 5G of MP3's, that takes so long I stopped using SAGE to play them..

It should not be taking that long. I have 7 GB od MP3's and it only takes a few minutes. Are your Hard drives operating in UDMA mode?

They are on my Network server which is 4 250GB SATA Drives in a RAID 5 config..

So are you doing this over the network?

I have seen this behavior, but not for that long a period of time. Every 5 minutes when you have MP3s or Imported Videos it appears to scan these directories for changes in a brute force manner. I no longer use it for MP3s for the same reason since even on my local machine with all the drives in DMA mode 5 or 6 CPU spikes to 80% to 99% while it is scanning directories for changes which it does every 5 minutes. If SageTV used Win32 API calls to be alerted when a file is added/removed they would not have to do a brute force check to validate the list of imported videos and MP3s.

I love SageTV, but it does seem to have a problem with prioritizing tasks.

Yes over a 100MB backbone with switch not a hub.. hell I would switch to a 1G backbone it that would solve the problem, however I know it's not the LAN causing the problems.

Hmm, I have well over 600 gigs of network storage that consits of mpeg, jpeg, mps and avi files. I have never noticed this happening.
