ffmpeg running all the time

[MichaelFerstl]

Hi,
I did setup my new NAS 3days ago.
ffmpeg keeps running 2 processes with 99,71% CPU usage, although noone is streaming any video.
Indexing media has finished 2 days ago.
Is that normal?
Where can i check what its doing?

This is one possibility that fter you upload images/videos, File Manager automatically generates thumbnails in the background so you can view them faster later. The process of generating thumbnails requires the participation of ffmpeg and it will stop running after the process is finished.
Also, do you have any other video/picture related apps running?

i had that photo tool, which i removed. as it was never finishing to show thumbnails or pictures

For more information on what it is being used for, you can log into terminal and view it with the command “ps -ef”.
