pluginHelper.ReturnToMainMenu(); throws System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory.

sub when i call this pluginHelper.ReturnToMainMenu() (only in the one plugin the rest are fine) i get this error

Code:

that line is the pluginHelper.ReturnToMainMenu() call.

it is only happening in the one plugin which is strange, i think the problem is happening when its drawing the main menu.

if i switch to another plugin (using F4 etc) and then goto the main menu all is fine, its just that method call from that plugin.

any ideas?

oh i also get this error when i start a video from "my videos" and then switch to the inset (menu key), which also returns to the main menu.

Hmm, no I'm not sure. I've had a look at the code but cant see any obvious reason.

could it have anything to do with the
getTemporatyBitmap(width,height, instance)
method? i started converting most things to that.

i watched the memory in task manager but that didnt get all that high around 220megs (average on my system, with my skin, ive got 1280 mbs total).

its going to be one of those days.....

switched to blue skin and problem went away......

yeah its going to be one of those days....

oh bloody hell i switched to this method to loading the task image

Code:

Image img = null;
using(FileStream fs = new FileStream(imagefile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
    img = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs);
}
return img;

so it wouldnt be locked, as someone requested in the wishlist forum and that was causing the problem. why on earth would that cause a problem???

sorry to waste your time sub.

Looks ok to me. Is that the exact code?

sorry to waste your time sub.

No probs.

[reven]

yeah exact code, the only time ive seen the error with images is when you try to use a image that has called its Dipose(); method. but since the task image showed up fine on the main menu (going to guide, then back to main menu)

errr strange funny bug.
