High CPU

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud Mirror

Hello, I hope someone can help me.

The last (2?) weeks my CPU is always 100% , 24/7

It is the slimserver (50%) and the Twonkyserver(50%),

I think it came with the last new firmware, because before I never had this problem.

Someone else with the same problem?

Hi here, I do not have an My Cloud Mirror, and can’t tell if this is happening, but have you tried turning the Twonky and the remote access off?

I don’t know how to do that, I don’t see that option by the settings.

100% CPU is fairly normal, especially as you add stuff which the various daemons may then go ahead and catalogue and add to the various databases etc. I think my MCM has basically spent most of the past year and a half or so running like that, and it works fine.

oke, but doesn’t it interfear wile streaming? so know and then I have hickups wile strreaming.

I thought it was because of the high cpu.

Streaming how, and to where?

Mine plays fine via ethernet and NFS to my Raspberry Pi running Kodi and feeding into my TV. If you’re streaming over the internet though, or locally via wifi then you’ll see speed degradations and glitching or buffering sometimes if your links aren’t quick enough.

But the simplest rule is to go through the options on the dashboard and turn off services and things that you don’t want or aren’t using. Here I include things like AirPlay, DLNA, cloud access etc if those are not used on your network or devices (similar to what Iluna_Polanco was referring to above). Two CPU hitters are the latter two, as both involve indexing and database tracking.

I stream by Cat.6 UTP cables, the NAS goes through an 1GB switch(Netgear).

Somethimes there is a hickup/freeze for a second. This repeats 3 or 4 times and then it’s over. Looks like buffering?

I take a look at the services, thank you.

The version of Twonkymedia that ships with the current Mycloud firmware is old and has some bugs.

Each time I restart my MyCloudMirror, it hangs whilst creating thumbnails on a MP2 VOB file, it’s always the same file, and always hangs.  I have left it weeks pegged at 100% CPU.   To sort it out, I have to kill the thumbnailing task and then Twonkymedia moves onto the next file, and eventually finishes it’s startup scan, and the CPU drops to it’s nominal 10%

I am hoping that WD release a firmware update with the latest Twonkymedia 8.1x which fixes this issue (according to the Twonkymedia changelogs).

Time for another round of mycloud firmware beta testing :slight_smile:

There’s a new version of the firmware (OS3) due out in a couple of weeks or so - see the press release here.

Hopefully that should clear up a few of the lingering bugs and outdated elements, and generally make a few long-requested improvements to various aspects of operations.
