cargsl 0 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've just installed Emby and started using it and its amazing. Something that I don't really understand though is why is the server running 8+ ffmpeg instances when no client is actually playing anything? I thought it could be a scheduled task, but according to the server, no task are currently running. I don't mind that emby is doing something, but I'd really like to know what is it that keeps an 8 core machine at 70% utilization. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1256 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 how large is your library? and when did you install emby? Emby/FFMPEG will run through your videos to get scene screen shots and what not. If you have a decent amount of videos this can take some time. Normally you wouldn't see any instances if no one is streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 738 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Another possible task is any sync jobs you've setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFASocial 5 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I had to change the schedule task to once a week as it would run every day around 10am it would scan the system per the setting every 12 hours, also change the other schedules to once week it is likely those settings.
