MediaPortal 2 Version: 2.1.3
Description
This is a strange one. About two days ago the windows 7, 8.1, 10, 2012r2 and 2016 server virtual machines that I was connected to through RDP started randomly disconnecting. System interrupts and svhost were using 100% of the threads in every VM. I also found a strange ~140-200mbs receive network traffic on every VM and every physical windows system that showed up in task manager but not resource monitor. The physical systems did not have high CPU usage. The inbound network traffic was not IP bound, I could run just IP4 or IP6 and use a random address from a different subnet while still showing 140mbs receive. There was no traffic through the router corresponding to this and disconnecting from the internet made no difference.
The source I traced the traffic to was a single i7 7700T Windows 10 1709 box running only MP2 2.1.3 and a antivirus program that had been sitting idle. On this system, MP2-Client.exe was maxing out all 8 threads and sending network traffic out of both wired and wireless interfaces. Terminating MP2-Client instantly fixed every system on the network. Restarting MP2 did not bring back the issue so its going to be tough to test anything.
edit: This also seems to have been the cause of a smart TV that was rebooting itself during the same time frame.
Steps to Reproduce:
unsure at this point
MP2 client was used to watch a TV show about 15 hours before issue was detected then left idle showing the season for the TV series that had been played.
