I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I’ve been trying to track an issue with my server since upgrading to 1.41.3. I do HW transcoding to a quadro p2000 and that works fine and dandy. But seemingly randomly the “Plex Media Server” process is spiking to 200% to 300% even with very little active streams on my server. First I thought it was some specific clients causing the issue but after temporarily blocking them the process was still spiking and consuming a ton of resources from my server. There were no jobs running at the time that I could correlate to this either like thumbnail generation, etc. I finally got fed up tonight and rolled back to 1.41.2 and she’s running in tip top shape again. No more crazy cpu utilization by the Plex Media Server process. Has anyone else noticed some strange CPU utilization behavior since upgrading to 1.41.3 on a Linux OS?

Same thing on my AMD 5950X Since updating people are complaining that the Media scanner is trashing the service and it’s already set to low priority: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/8/d/4/8d4f2d6ea8d3728decaa53d4cfae505bcd35ebc0.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/0/6/1/061f046ff0a95e16d22258b0efcaec629406d7ab.png) ---
