[Bug 1518668] Re: mediascanner2.0 uses 100% CPU every 30 seconds

 

Unless you're actively using an app that uses mediascanner2, it might be
best to just remove the package.  This package was developed for the
Ubuntu Phone project, which is no longer based on Trusty.

The latest version almost certainly improves matters (it better protects
against crashes caused by the codecs), but I don't know whether we'll be
back porting it to 14.04 (all current development is targeting Xenial
and Vivid).

Title:
  mediascanner2.0 uses 100% CPU every 30 seconds

Status in mediascanner2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since some times, I noticed some slow down of my computer.

  System monitor showed bursts of 100% usage during 2 minutes every 30
  seconds.

  A look at processes showed media-scanner-service as guilty.

  What is this "Microsoft-like" crap?
