[Bug 1398614] Re: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU
The recent 0.111 release in xenial and the Ubuntu Phone vivid overlay should improve things somewhat: 1. we are using taglib directly for scanning of music files (videos still go through GStreamer). 2. batch index updates during the "initial scan" phase when the daemon starts up or removable media is mounted, resulting in fewer flushes. While this might not reduce CPU usage much (although it probably will while scanning music), it reduced flushes should make it play better with other IO on the system. It seems a lot less intrusive when I let it rescan my music collection from scratch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398614 Title: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1398614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Every time I plug in my external 1TB HDD this process consumes up to 101.8%(!) of my CPU and prevents me from doing anything on the computer unless I physically turn off the HDD. I thought that after its first scan data is cached? Instead, the issue appears to be ongoing for me. I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.10 LTS and I haven't purged the package since I use the Ubuntu SDK and apparently the "mediascanner-service" package is a dependency?

Since pulling in mediascanner2.0 on wily with the ubuntu-sdk package, I have mediascanner-service consuming a minimum of 10% of CPU at all times, with frequent spikes to nearly 200%. My CPU is cooking nicely. To put things in perspective, firefox with 15 open tabs is currently consuming 3.3% of CPU.

Jussi, on my Bq Aquarius the scanning never stops (without .nomedia). I have about 10 GB of music on the SD card and mediascanner-service still takes up to 100% CPU after several hours.

This should only happen once: the first time you insert the drive. It might happen again if you unplug the disk before scanning is finished. After the first scan the results are cached and further connections should be fast again. If you wish to prevent Mediascanner from scanning your external drive, place a file called .nomedia in the root dir of your drive and it won't be scanned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398614 Title: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1398614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
