Runaway ffmpeg process usage after MyCloud5 upgrade

@cbsc139 No worries:

  1. first be sure you are able to SSH in (Settings->Network)
    image

  2. Use an SSH client (freeware like PuTTY) using the sshd username and the password you’ve set above.

  3. type mv /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpegbak

  4. type pkill ffmpeg

  5. Verify the there is no ffmpeg process running any longer when you type top and push p to sort by CPU utilization (should look similar to below)

That’s it!
