A while after the SlimServer software starts, it locks up or starts using a huge amount of memory and CPU, even without playing any music. Whats up?
Check to make sure that any playlists in your music library contain valid paths to music files in your library. Playlists that refer to themselves or other folders in your library, or playlist entries that refer to disks that aren’t available can cause the SlimServer software to get confused. If this isn’t the problem, try moving all of your music files out of the library and then move them back in groups and restarting the server. Try to find, by process of elimination, which files are confusing the SlimServer software. If you have a very large music library, it can take a long time to scan and possibly use up a lot of memory. There are a couple of tricks you can use to optimize this process though. Try disabling Album Artwork in “Server Settings”, “Additional Server Settings”, “Performance”. Also enable MP3 Tag Caching.
