[SOLVED] Where to start - Xrecode 3 (1.61) hangs
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2017 5:49 pm
Running xrecode3 64 bit, 1.61
Windows 10 Creator (1703)
6 Core (12 logical) 3.33Ghz System although three different system exhibit the same problem
16GB Ram
Library is on a NAS (FreeNas)
Network is Gige - hardwired, typical speeds at 99% capacity
Other applications running which access the same data include
MediaMonkey, Roon, Foobar, dbpoweramp, VLC, etc..
Adding a group of 39 artist folders (39 artist, 160 total folders, 1500 tracks) to Xrecode takes upwards of a half hour until it stops all activity. The main application is running according to task manager and according to process monitor it has somewhere between 6 and 17 threads running (14 typical). For the most part it is using very little to zero CPU. Eventually the app hangs (non-responsive) but not always, sometimes it will just sit there and if you try to close it, you will be prompted for 'are you sure' or something like that.
If I add one artist folder, whether from the context menu or from the UI it works. If I add 5 it works, if I try to add 10 it hangs. Ok,, never mind, I found the problem..
Now documenting in case someone else runs into it. There was a rar file in one of the folders (the 10th one as it turns out) which had a complex structure and it is locked by some external process. When I deleted this file (from the NAS) the problem goes away. I can now add all of the folders in a large group and the program is running much faster. Threads jumps up to 25, CPU now is climbing higher (2%) on folder scan, and it completes all of the processing.
