The recent 0.111 release in xenial and the Ubuntu Phone vivid overlay should improve things somewhat:
1. we are using taglib directly for scanning of music files (videos still go through GStreamer). 2. batch index updates during the "initial scan" phase when the daemon starts up or removable media is mounted, resulting in fewer flushes. While this might not reduce CPU usage much (although it probably will while scanning music), it reduced flushes should make it play better with other IO on the system. It seems a lot less intrusive when I let it rescan my music collection from scratch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398614 Title: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1398614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
