Serviio starting ffmpeg on startup

[Former user]

After attempting to stream desktop according to http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=stream_pc ServiioServer consistently starts ffmpeg.exe (and one instance of cmd.exe) and cannot be closed.

What I did was:

1. attempt to start the Desktop on my TV

2. after it failed, turned of the TV

3. reboot my computer

As soon as I started ServiioServer after this it starts ffmpeg and my CPU goes to 100%. To make it stop this I had to reinstall Serviio

nothing I can do without a detailed log. Closing this for now, if you can reproduce with a log, reopen it.

It might be caused by the desktop stream not running and ffmpeg trying to get information about it.

It seem like servioo starts ffmpeg to retrive some info for all the files in the collections. The problem may be in the fact that I'm downloading this file, so servioo senses some changes in the directory folder and try to retrieve the info for the file again and again and againg.

So the test is, watch how servioo call ffmpeg while downloading a file in the directory shared for collection
