VLC sky rockets to 100% CPU Usage when mms stream ends?
Posted: 16 Jan 2010 00:44
Hello,
I have VLC 1.0.3 GoldenEye installed on my Server which is running Windows Home Server (Win Server 2003 based...) and I'm having an issue where I have a MMS stream set up to automatically record at a certain time and then using the vlc://quit parameter end after it has finished.
(I use the vlc://quit so that the stream is "seekable". When I used to use taskkill (windows 2003 resource kit) to kill the process, It would not be "seekable")
Anyways, my problem is that at the end of this stream it does not move to the next playlist item (in this case, vlc://quit) but starts taking 100% of my CPU. The video duration does not get any longer it simply will not let me do anything. It's to the point where I can not even remote desktop into my server nor shut it down remotely, and the few times I've been able to access the server it completely freezes up, and then I literally have to go into the room and hit the reset or force the shut down.
This is a brand new server setup and I've had this problem on both Windows XP and Windows 7 so I do not think it's a issue with the OS or the system. It could be a possible issue with the stream but I'd figure when VLC stops receiving data it should move to the next playlist item.
Sorry for the longish post, but does anyone have a clue to why this would be?
PS: My command line is as follows:
