System.Exception: Unable to allocate pixels for the bitmap.

[greg in kansas]

Well we still getting crashes.
I just seen this, does this mean a fix is coming soon?

UI clients can be nice and fortuanately don't take much maintenance from sub either once (knock on wood for libSKiaShap in the next version).

Did you do a new install and forget the patch https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid601879 ?

I know sub is working on a new version and the libSkiaSharp is downgraded but no idea if that error is addressed, beyond the memory leak fix. Since it can't be duplicated. I would check the channel icons to see if you have any corrupt files.

My guess is he just needs that patch.
