NDigitalHost memory leak ?

KRA · 2014-04-07, 07:19 PM

My NdigitalHost keep growing, once I caught them using 500MB, now after 1 day since reboot I have 2 using 250-300MB each. Is this normal ?

Shameless bump

Not normal (compared to my system). When did you last restart the recording service?

Mine are showing 57MB and 17MB, although curiously the memory usage is fluctuating constantly by a few 100KB even though they are idle.

Scheduled a DVB-T2 HD recording, it rises to 275MB
cancel recording, drops back to 64MB (not 57MB).
Scheduled a DVB-T2 HD recording, it rises to 275MB
cancel recording, drops back to 69MB (not 64MB).
[edit] again this morning, up to 282 and back down to 74.6MB, which is again 5MB higher than it was at idle last night.
[edit] corrected GB to MB for these pedantic readers!

Either there is some .NET garbage collection not running or NdigitalHost is not freeing up all of its resources after completing a recording, thereby leaking 5MB after every recording.

3 NDigitalHost.exe*32 while recording: 55Current/59MaximumMB 69/69MB 73/75MB

On a 8GB system

I currently have 2 of them, one using 381MB the other 320MB, this is after maybe 3-4 days since startup.

Stop service, both gone, restart still gone.
Tune a channel 1 pops up using 64MB
Stop channel and start another it grows to 68MB
Stop channel and it's down to 41MB

I get one pr tuner, both on a fresh startet npvr service use around 60-70MB tuning channel, and 40MB idle

EPG scanning does not seem to affect, stays at 41MB, been recording for a couple of hours now and it's grown to 90MB

MDPlugins related ?

Yeah, maybe. I guess the only way to know for sure is try removing them temporarily to see if you still have the problem on free to air channels.
