High CPU load on remote libraries such as ftp

[snigel]

Running watchdog on a FTP library causes my Raspberry Pi 3 to become unusable.

Running strace on the kodi process shows that watchdog is continuously looping through every directory on the FTP server at a very high rate of speed. Hammering of a network server is not always nice either.

One possible solution is a setting for throttling the speed of new connections or the amount of concurrent connections for remote paths such as SSH, FTP etc.

Same here with a SMB library.

I have been using this plugin on all my windows machines for ages and never noticed this. But my Raspberry Pi 3 was crushing under the load.

Any chance this gets picked up again after all these years?
