ffprobe.exe issues - maxing CPU core and ~400mb RAM

Hi All,
 

I am encountering an issue when scanning my media library on Media Browser Server Version 3.0.5083.27698.

 

 

At a set percentage, the task stalls, and this process maxes out one of my CPU cores and eats a lot of RAM.

Stopping the Mediabrowser Task/Restarting the server does not stop this process, I've let this process run overnight, and it doesn't seem to terminate itself!

 

  • I wasn't sure which logs were relevant to this, so I have been unable to work out if any specific files are to blame.
  • I have recently reinstalled Windows (and thus my Media Browser Server), I wasn't experiencing this issue beforehand
  • I have changed ownership of all my files, and given "Full Control" permissions to "Everyone"
     

Any advice would be appreciated!

Many Thanks.

Sorted :)

I found a corrupt episode of The Walking Dead, which apparently contains no video encoding information.

I ran ffprobe manually on the file and CPU went to 13%, memory to 400mb and the application become unresponsive without throwing an error.

 

I ran it through MediaArea.net/MediaInfo and got the following results, but I guess it's a problem with ffmpeg/ffprobe not handling dodgy files gracefully as opposed to MediaBrowser:

Opening in VLC gave:

No suitable decoder module:

VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Great piece of software by the way, love using it!
