Having installed SimpleFeatures and using the "active streams" for the first time I noticed I had MANY active streams open, when in fact I wasn't even accessing my server. I did play an MP3 file but now it seems I have many active streams with MP3 files? I'm confused. Here is a screen shot to make sense of it. After about 20 minutes of not accessing the server, the active streams page became blank. No active streams.

 

It depends on what you played the MP3 through. I know using Media center any time I play a movie it shows 2 streams for the movie, and one will stay up until I play another movie.

 

It could be the media player was scanning other MP3's in the directory, that would cause a stream to pop up in active lists(atleast from my experience)

I was just using VLC player. All indexing is turned off also.

 

 

In other threads you've been trying to setup crashplan.

 

Did you have crashplan running at this time? Is it set to backup your mp3's?

 

This could be crashplan scanning the files / backing them up.

 

I don't know how the active streams works behind the scenes but if you have shell access you could use lsof (lsof | grep /path/to/your/mp3/share) to verify it's output.
